Message 1574548 - Posted: 19 Sep 2014, 20:24:09 UTC - in response to Message 1574542.  

janneseti, it translates like this:
Oh, my wee bairn, (Oh my little child)
Oh my wee bonny bairn (oh my little, beautiful child)
But frequently leannan is used to mean "sweetheart," so, roughly:
oh my little sweetie
oh my pretty little sweetheart
CC

Guess what a Child is called in Swedish?
Yes. Barn:) not a building but a Child!
And a piglet in Sweden is called a gris. Just as scots do.

Oh, my wee gris
Oh my wee bonnie gris:)

Overheard: "Well, if Scotland had voted for independence from the U.K.,
what would have kept Canada from breaking away from the U.S.?"

Based on what happened in Canada over separation of a part
of the country, does any one have an idea for how long until
the next referendum for freedom in Scotland?

4 years perhaps:)

Here is a stirring song about Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobite uprising of 1745.

100 Pipers

Wi' a hundred pipers, an' a', an' a',
Wi' a hundred pipers, an' a', an' a',
We'll up an' gie them a blaw, a blaw,
Wi' a hundred pipers, an' a', an' a'.
O it's owre the border awa', awa'
It's owre the border awa', awa',
We'll on an' we'll march to Carlisle ha'
Wi' its yetts, its castle an' a', an a'.

Chorus:
Wi' a hundred pipers, an' a', an' a',
Wi' a hundred pipers, an' a', an' a',
We'll up an' gie them a blaw, a blaw
Wi' a hundred pipers, an' a', an' a'.

O! our sodger lads looked braw, looked braw,
Wi' their tartan kilts an' a', an' a',
Wi' their bonnets an' feathers an' glitt'rin' gear,
An' pibrochs sounding loud and clear.
Will they a' return to their ain dear glen?
Will they a' return oor Heilan' men?
Second sichted Sandy looked fu' wae.
An' mithers grat when they march'd away.

Chorus:
O! wha' is foremos o' a', o' a',
Oh wha' is foremost o' a', o' a',
Bonnie Charlie the King o' us a', hurrah!
Wi' his hundred pipers an' a', an ' a'.
His bonnet and feathers he's waving high,
His prancing steed maist seems to fly,
The nor' win' plays wi' his curly hair,
While the pipers play wi'an unco flare.

Chorus:
The Esk was swollen sae red an' sae deep,
But shouther to shouther the brave lads keep;
Twa thousand swam owre to fell English ground
An' danced themselves dry to the pibroch's sound.
Dumfoun'er'd the English saw, they saw,
Dumfoun'er'd they heard the blaw, the blaw,
Dumfoun'er'd they a' ran awa', awa',
Frae the hundred pipers an' a', an' a'.
