Текст песни: The Braemar Poacher + перевод

am a roaming Highlander, a native of Braemar

I’ve often roamed the valleys around by Lochnagar

I’ve often ranged the valleys in spite of all command

But now I’m bound to sail the seas unto Van Diemen’s Land

One night I went to Beinn a' Bhuird my gun into my hand

But soon there followed after me six keepers and a band

They swore they would lay hands on me but I soon let them know

I am the roaming Highlander could prove their overthrow

Oftentimes they would combine for to protect their game

They’d say, We hear that Crewar comes, we maun untae the glen

And hunt the woods all over all for to find his trace

For he is the roaming champion of all the poaching race

They’d often try to capture me but all such schemes were vain

For them to lay their hands on me I ever would disdain

For I aye maintained my liberty wi' money at command

But now I’m bound to sail the sea unto Van Diemen’s Land

Here’s a hearty health to all my friends that Crewar are by name

Likewise to all the poaching men when in pursuit of game

May they aye maintain their liberty wi' money at command

Unlike the roaming Highlander, intae Van Diemen’s Land

Here’s a health unto my native land as I step fae the shore

Likewise the bonnie Braes o' Mar I never shall see no more

I will think of youthful days that I have spent on thee

For I’m aye a roaming Highlander though far out o’er the sea
