Come Wi' Me
Sons of Alba: A Call to Freedom in Bannockburn
Lyrics
Will ye come wi' me?
Asking if someone will accompany the speaker
Will ye wait fir me?
Inquiring if someone will remain patient for the speaker
Pit yir faith in liberty
Encouraging trust in the concept of freedom and autonomy
We'll make oor plans
Expressing the intention to devise strategies
We'll make oor stand
Declaring determination to take a firm position
In the fields o' Bannockburn
Referring to the historic battlefield of Bannockburn
In my dreams I heard proud Wallace, crying in the night
Recalling a dream where William Wallace's spirit is heard advocating for Scotland's freedom
Fighting for the freedom of oor land
Highlighting the struggle for the nation's freedom
Have you seen Black Douglas, wi' Bruce's heart in hand?
Mentioning a historical figure, Black Douglas, symbolizing loyalty to Scotland's cause
If he can die for Alba so can I
Expressing willingness to sacrifice for Scotland
Will ye come wi' me?
Reiterating the invitation for someone to join the speaker
Will ye wait fir me?
Repeating the question of whether someone will patiently wait
Pit yir faith in liberty
Reaffirming the importance of placing trust in liberty and freedom
We'll make oor plans
Emphasizing the intention to strategize
We'll make oor stand
Asserting determination to take a stand
In the fields o' Bannockburn
Referring again to the historic battleground of Bannockburn
Edward o' England; hammer of the Scots
Mentioning King Edward I of England as an oppressor of Scotland
Trying his best to lay us low
Describing Edward I's attempts to subdue Scotland
We'll stand up proudly, strike our mighty blow
Declaring the determination to resist and fight back against oppression
Fight until the death of every man
Expressing readiness to fight until every person's death
Will ye come wi' me?
Repeatedly asking for someone's company
Will ye wait fir me?
Repeatedly asking if someone will patiently wait
Pit yir faith in liberty
Repeatedly emphasizing the significance of trusting in liberty
We'll make oor plans
