Braid Claith

Ye wha are fain to hae your name
Wrote in the bonny book of fame,
Let merit nae pretension claim
To laurel'd wreath,
But hap ye weel, baith back and wame,
In gude Braid Claith.

He that some ells o' this may fa,
An' slae-black hat on pow like snaw,
Bids bauld to bear the gree awa',
Wi' a' this graith,
Whan bienly clad wi' shell fu' braw
O' gude Braid Claith.

Waesuck for him wha has na fek o't!
For he's a gowk they're sure to geck at,
A chiel that ne'er will be respekit
While he draws breath,
Till his four quarters are bedeckit
Wi' gude Braid Claith.

On Sabbath-days the barber spark,
When he has done wi' scrapin wark,
Wi' siller broachie in his sark,
Gangs trigly, faith!
Or to the meadow, or the park,
In gude Braid Claith.

Weel might ye trow, to see them there,
That they to shave your haffits bare,
Or curl an' sleek a pickly hair,
Wou'd be right laith,
Whan pacing wi' a gawsy air
In gude Braid Claith.

If only mettl'd stirrah green
For favour frae a lady's ein,
He maunna care for being seen
Before he sheath
His body in a scabbard clean
O' gude Braid Claith.

For, gin he come wi' coat threadbare,
A feg for him she winna care,
But crook her bonny mou' fu' sair,
And scald him baith.
Wooers shou'd ay their travel spare
Without Braid Claith.

Braid Claith lends fock an unco heese,
Makes mony kail-worms butterflies,
Gies mony a doctor his degrees
For little skaith:
In short, you may be what you please
Wi' gude Braid Claith.

For thof ye had as wise a snout on
As Shakespeare or Sir Isaac Newton,
Your judgment fouk wou'd hae a doubt on,
I'll tak my aith,
Till they cou'd see ye wi' a suit on
O' gude Braid Claith.

Du Hast Mein Herz Gebrochen

Hr mir zu
Was mir in diesem Leben fehlt bist Du, mein Schatz
Was ist nur geschehen bei ihr
Hr mir zu
Ich denk an Dich, was immer ich auch tu, mein Schatz
Was ist nur, was ist nur mit mir
(Chorus)
Du hast mein Herz gebrochen, als Du bei ihr warst
Aus Tagen wurden Wochen oder auch ein Jahr
Oh Baby, ich kann nicht glauben, dass Du mich verlsst
Ich seh in deinen Augen sie nimmt Dich mir weg
Und ich seh
Dass Du schon entschieden hast Du gehst, mein Schatz
Weit Du denn nicht mehr, wo ich bin
Und ich seh
Dass fr mich dein Herz jetzt nicht mehr schlgt, mein Schatz
Wo willst Du, wo willst Du nur hin
(Chorus) - repeat (2x)
Du hast mein Herz gebrochen, als Du bei ihr warst
Aus Tagen wurden Wochen oder auch ein Jahr
Oh Baby, ich kann nicht glauben, dass Du mich verlsst
Ich seh in deinen Augen sie nimmt Dich mir weg
Du hast mein Herz gebrochen, als Du bei ihr warst...
Es tut so weh, es tut so weh
Du hast mein Herz gebrochen, als Du bei ihr warst
Aus Tagen wurden Wochen oder auch ein Jahr
Du hast mein Herz gebrochen
