Roger Whittaker - Albany - english version lyrics

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
