Whan I haik't up to Craigie Hill
And lookit east and west;
"In a' the world," said I to mysel',
"My ain shire is the best."
Whan I haik't up to Craigie Hill
And frae the hicht look't doun;
"There is nae place," said I to mysel',
"Mair braw nor our borough-toun."
And a' be mysel' on Craigie Hill
I spak in the Lord's ear;
"O! whan the haly bugles trill
Lat me wauken up richt here.!
由于原诗是苏格兰语写的，这里有段不大精确的翻译：
当我登上克雷吉山，
我东西环望；
“在这个世界上”，我对自己说，
“我自己乡村是美最好的。”
当我登上克雷吉山，
从山顶向下观望；
“没有什么地方”，我对自己说，
“可以比我们的城镇更美好。”
而我就在这克雷吉山上，
我对上帝把话说；
“噢！当神圣的号角响起，
就让我在片土地上醒来！”
《Craigie Hill》歌词:
It being in the springtime and the small birds they were singing
Down by yon shady harbour I carelessly did stray
The thrushes they were warbling, the violets they were charming
To view fond lovers talking, a while I did delay
She said, my dear don't leave me for another season
Though fortune does be pleasing I'll go along with you
I'll forsake friends and relations and bid this only nation
And to the bonny Bann banks forever I'll bid adieu
He said, my dear don't grieve or yet annoy my patience
You know I love you dearly the more I'm going away
I'm going to a foreign nation to purchase a plantation
To comfort us hereafter all in America
Then after a short while a fortune does be pleasing
It'll cause them for to smile at our late going away
We'll be happy as Queen Victoria, all in her greatest glory
We'll be drinking wine and porter, all in America
If you were in your bed lying and thinking on dying
The sight of the lovely Bann banks your sorrow you'd give over
Or if you were down one hour, down in yon shady bower
Pleasure would surround you, you'd think on death no more
Then fare you well, sweet Craigie Hill, where often times I've roved
I never thought my childhood days I'd part you any more
Now we're sailing on the ocean for honour and promotion
And the bonny boats are sailing, way down by Doorin shore
