Текст песни
Sing me a song of a lass that is gone,
Say, could that lass be I?
Merry of soul she sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye.
Billow and breeze, islands and seas,
Mountains of rain and sun,
All that was good, all that was fair,
All that was me is gone.
Sing me a song of a lass that is gone,
Say, could that lass be I?
Merry of soul she sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye
Песня о путешествии на остров Скай
Песню мне спой об ушедшей любимой,
Скажи мне, может ли она быть мной?
С мирной душой она отплыла в этот день,
Через море к острову Скай.
Волны и бриз, острова и моря,
Горы дождя и солнца,
Все это былом чудом, все это было сказкой,
Все это ушло от меня.
Песню мне спой об ушедшей любимой,
Скажи мне, может ли она быть мной?
С мирной душой она отплыла в этот день,
Через море к острову Скай.
The Skye Boat Song (саундтрек к сериалу «Чужестранка») — народная шотландская песня, в ритме вальса, рассказывающая о побеге Карла Стюарта на остров Скай после поражения в битве при Каллодене. Оригинальная лирика песни была заменена на менее известную версию Роберта Льюис Стивенсона, стихотворение «Спой мне о том, кто уплыл на Скай...» (англ. Sing Me A Song Of A Lad That Is Gone), измененное таким образом, чтобы речь шла от женского лица.
Перевод песни
Sing me a song of a lass that is gone,
Say, could that lass be I?
Merry of soul she sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye.
Billow and breeze, islands and seas,
Mountains of rain and sun,
All that was good, all that was fair,
All that was me is gone.
Sing me a song of a lass that is gone,
Say, could that lass be I?
Merry of soul she sailed on a day
Over the sea to skye
Isle of Skye Travel Song
Sing a song to me about the lost beloved,
Tell me can she be me?
With a peaceful soul, she sailed that day,
Across the sea to the Isle of Skye.
Waves and breezes, islands and seas
Mountains of rain and sun
It was all a miracle, it was all a fairy tale,
It all left me.
Sing a song to me about the lost beloved,
Tell me can she be me?
With a peaceful soul, she sailed that day,
Across the sea to the Isle of Skye.
The Skye Boat Song (Outlander Soundtrack) is a Scottish folk song with a waltz rhythm about Carl Stewart's escape to the Isle of Skye after the defeat at the Battle of Culloden. The original lyrics of the song have been replaced with a lesser known version of Robert Louis Stevenson, the poem Sing Me A Song Of A Lad That Is Gone, altered to include from a woman's face.
