The Twa Corbies
As I was walking all alane
I spied twa corbies making mane
The tane unto the t'other did say-o
Wat sall we gang and dine today-o?
Wat sall we gang and dine today-o?
Down behind yon auld fail dyke
I wot there lies a new slain knight
Nobody kens that he lies there-o
But his hawk and his hound and his lady fair-o
But his hawk and his hound and his lady fair-o
His hound is to the hunting gang
His hawk to fetch the moore fowl hame
His lady's ta'en another mate-o
Say, we may mak our dinner sweet-o
Say, we may mak our dinner sweet-o
You light upon his white house bane
And I'll pick out his bonny blue eye'n
With many a lock of his yellow hair-o
We'll thick our nest where it grow's bare-o
We'll thick our nest where it grow's bare-o
Many a one for him maks mane
But none shall ken where he has gang
Or his white bones when they are bare-o
The wind shall blow forevermare-o
The wind shall blow forevermare-o
As I was walking all alane
I spied twa corbies making mane
The tane unto the t'other did say-o
Wat sall we gang and dine today-o?
Wat sall we gang and dine today-o?

Dos Cuervos
Mientras caminaba completamente solo
Oí a dos cuervos gimiendo
Uno le dijo al otro
¿Adónde iremos a cenar hoy?
¿Adónde iremos a cenar hoy?
Detrás de esa vieja pared de césped
Sé que un caballero que ha sido asesinado recientemente yace allí
Y nadie sabe que él yace allí
Excepto por su halcón y su sabueso y su encantadora dama
Excepto por su halcón y su sabueso y su encantadora dama
Su sabueso fue a cazar
Su halcón fue a traer a los pájaros muertos a casa
Su dama se encontró con otro hombre
Por lo tanto, podemos tener nuestra cena cómodamente
Por lo tanto, podemos tener nuestra cena cómodamente
Aterrizarás en su clavícula
Y le rascaré sus hermosos ojos azules
Junto con un mechón de su cabello dorado
Construiremos nuestro nido cuando esté a la vista
Construiremos nuestro nido cuando esté a la vista
Hay muchos que lamentan por él
Pero nadie sabrá adónde ha ido
O sus huesos blancos, cuando están a la vista
El viento soplará para siempre
El viento soplará para siempre
Mientras caminaba completamente solo
Oí a dos cuervos gimiendo
Uno le dijo al otro
¿Adónde iremos a cenar hoy?
¿Adónde iremos a cenar hoy?
