Albany - english version

Paroles de la chanson Albany - English Version :
Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green

Albany, whose mighty walls the people sheltered under

Albany, proud symbol set in the Highlands free

(This is Gordon McKenzie's story)

Just like a song, a song that lasts forever

(And the story of Albany, his family home)

Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green

Albany, whose mighty walls the people shelter under

Albany, proud symbol set in the Highlands free

Just like a song, a song that lasts forever

Gordon was the eldest son, a golden eagle, so the story runs

His brother Charles, dark as the raven

One night in jealous rage and spite, the raven struck with all his might

The eagle turned as quick as light and slew the raven

Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green

Albany, whose mighty walls the people shelter under

Albany, proud symbol set in the Highlands free

Just like a song, a song that last forever

See the king's men come riding through the heather

McKenzie's life they cry and all his land

Silent clansmen stand motionless together

An English king won't have a Highland man

So the king by his decree did raze and fire poor Albany

To let the people see his power the island justice still prevails

And according to the clansman's tales

A golden eagle nests forever in her tower

Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green

Albany, whose mighty walls the people shelter under

Albany, proud symbol set in the Highlands free

Just like a song, a song that last forever

Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green

Albany, whose mighty walls the people shelter under

Albany, proud symbol set in the Highlands free

Just like a song, a song that last forever

Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green

Albany, whose mighty walls the people shelter
