ROBERT BURNS

Os escoceses são muito patriotas e isso é muito bonito. Também, eles têm motivos para se orgulhar.

Em 2009 comemora-se o aniversário de 250 anos de Robert Burns, o expoente máximo da literatura escocesa.

Há um grupo de rock escocês chamado Spotty Dogg que fez uma música chamada "The Bard" e pretende que ela seja incluída como tema principal do filme "Burns" em que o Gerry está envolvido.

O projeto estava parado há um tempão mas parece que esse ano finalmente vai sair do papel.

Aqui tem o link para o site da banda onde eles comentam como foi desenvolvida a canção que tem um trecho cantada em gaélico e as maravilhosas gaitas de fole.

A canção é realmente bonita e vocês podem fazer o download aqui:

E aqui está a letra. Pena que o trecho em gaélico não saiu legal:

The Bard - Spotty Dogg

Raised up on his fathers farm

An education in life

Well known as a ladies man

With bonny Jean in his sight

Working hard a noble family man

His words bring him wealth

The rise and fall of a Scottish Bard

Its only words that survived

I walk down the street

And you all seem to stare

You love my words

But you dont seem to care about me,

What about meSo i go to the bottle and have one last drink

Mabye tommorow i'll wake up and think what ive done

where did i go wrong

Chorus

Scotland's my life ,

It's my country and home

We've grown together from seeds that were sown

And I breathe you bonny scotland,

Here I was bornI'd fight for your right to be free once again

March through villages and towns, your blood ridden glens

Oh lay me to rest by your side, here i belong.

It's here i belong

Burns was humanitarian

A man with a heart

Life was never on his side

He had to make a new start

Branded as a fool

Though inside a wise man

Inspired by the ways of life

And the passion of his hand

So i go to the bottle and have one last drink

Maybe tommorow I'll wake up and think what I've done

Where did i go wrong

Repeat Chorus

Gaelic Chorus

Alba mo bheatha, mo dh�thaich, �s mo dhachaighDh� fh�s sinn le ch�ile bhon t-s�ol a chaidh churTha thu air m� anail Alba bh�idhich, sann seo a chaidh m� �rachNi mi sabaid do d� ch�irsa a bhith saor aon uair eileCaismeachd tro chlachain is bhailtean, �s do ghlinn fhuiltichO c�irich ri d� thaobh mi , �s ann seo bhios mi buan

Creio que o projeto de "Burns" ficou para ser retomado ainda no começo desse ano, então provavelmente após as filmagens de Law Abiding Citizen.

QUE DELÍCIA DE ROBERT BURNS QUE ELE VAI SER!
