| Midi: | MP3: | |
|---|---|---|
| Midi arranged by me, on bagpipes | As sung by the Nick Singalong at Tentacles 2005. The authentic drunken Orlanthi warband experience, though without the bagpipes. | Same again, but in a format that may sound better on Linux, I'm told. If either of these sound like they're being sung in the bath, it may be a caching/streaming issue - they're big files, even cut down as they are. |
All references to "Sartar" were of course originally to "Scotland". Creek-Stream-River and Dragon's Eye references thanks to Nick Brooke.: much better than "shining river" and "purple islands", which didn't fit at all.
Original words by Cliff Hanley
Hark when the night is falling
Hear, hear the pipes are calling
Loudly and proudly calling down through the glen.
There where the hills are sleeping
Now feel the blood a-leaping
High as the spirits of the old Quivin men.
Towering in gallant fame,
Sartar my mountain hame
High may your proud banners gloriously wave.
Land of my high endeavour
Land of the Creek-Stream-River
Land of my heart forever
Sartar the brave.
High in the misty highlands
Out by the Dragon's Eye lands
Brave are the hearts that beat beneath Sartar skies.
Wild are the winds who’ll meet you
Staunch are the friends who’ll greet you
Kind as the light that shines in fair maidens eyes.
Towering in gallant fame,
Sartar my mountain hame
High may your proud banners gloriously wave.
Land of my high endeavour
Land of the Creek-Stream-River
Land of my heart forever
Sartar the brave.
Far off in sunlit places, sad are the Sartar faces
Yearning to feel the kiss of mountain rain
Where Praxian skies are beaming, love sets the heart a-dreaming
Longing and dreaming for the homeland again
Towering in gallant fame,
Sartar my mountain hame
High may your proud banners gloriously wave.
Land of my high endeavour
Land of the Creek-Stream-River
Land of my heart forever
Sartar the brave.
Land of my heart forever - Sartar the brave.
