There'll Never Be Peace Till Jamie Comes Hame (feat. Justyna Krzyżanowska)

Описание: This song, attributed to Robert Burns, was published in the Scots Musical Museum in 1792.
'Jamie' refers to Prince James Edward Stuart (1688-1766), son of the deposed King James VII of Scotland and II of England, and the leader of the unsuccessful Jacobite uprising of 1715. The Jacobites sought to restore the deposed Stuart dynasty to the Scottish and English throne.
While James, often referred to as 'the old pretender', was unsuccessful, his son Prince Charles Edward Stuart embarked upon a second Jacobite rebellion in 1745.
Despite initial success, the Jacobites were defeated at the battle of Culloden in 1746, forcing Bonnie Prince Charlie to flee to the highlands.
Both father and son died in exile in Europe. And so, in this song a Jacobite laments the absence of who he perceives to be the rightful monarchs of Scotland. (text taken from bbc.co.uk by Pauline Mackay).

Lyrics:
By yon Castle wa', at the close of the day,
I heard a man sing, tho' his head it was grey:
And as he was singing, the tears they doon came,—
There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame.

The Church is in ruins, the State is in jars,
Delusions, oppressions, and murderous wars,
We dare na weel say't, but we ken wha's to blame,—
There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame.

My seven braw sons for Jamie drew sword,
But now I greet round their green beds in the yerd;
It brak the sweet heart o' my faithful auld dame,—
There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame.

Now life is a burden that bows me doon
Sin' I tint my bairns, and he tint his crown;
But till my last moments my words are the same,—
There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame.
