The drinking dens are spilling out
美酒香醇 从齿缝流出
There's staggering in the square

There's lads and lasses falling about
小伙子们和姑娘们开怀大笑
And a crackling in the air

Down around the dungeon doors
在城堡主楼的周围
The shelters and the queues
是成列的雨棚
Everybody's looking for

Somebody's arms to fall into

With the wagons creeping through

It's what it is now

The garrison sleeps in the citadel

With the ghosts and the ancient stones

A Scottish piper stands alone
有个苏格兰的风笛手孤单矗立
And high on the wind
站在高高的风里
The highland drums begin to roll
鼓声在高地上响起
And something from the past just comes
那感觉像是来自远古
And stares into my soul

With a Caledonian blues
