"Outlander" – The Skye Boat Song Lyric Video (with Sam Heughan Intro)
Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,
Onward! the sailors cry;
Carry the lad that's born to be King
Over the sea to Skye.＜コーラス＞
急げボートよ 鳥の如く
進め！ 水夫は叫ぶ
王となるべき若者を乗せて
海を渡り スカイ島へLoud the winds howl, loud the waves roar,
Thunderclouds rend the air;
Baffled, our foes stand by the shore,
Follow they will not dare.
[Chorus]風がうなり 波がとどろき
雷雲が空を裂く
うろたえる海岸の敵兵
追ってこい 出来るものならThough the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep,
Ocean's a royal bed.
Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep
Watch by your weary head.
[Chorus]荒波の中 汝は安らかに眠る
海原は王のベッド ゆりかごのように
フローラが見守る 汝を疲れた顔をMany's the lad fought on that day,
Well the Claymore could wield,
When the night came, silently lay
Dead on Culloden's field.
[Chorus]あの日 大勢の若者が戦った
クレイモア（大剣）を振り回し
夜になると 静かに横たわる亡骸
カロデンの戦場でBurned are their homes, exile and death
Scatter the loyal men;
Yet ere the sword cool in the sheath
Charlie will come again.故郷は焼かれ 落ち延び 亡くなった
忠実なる戦士たちは散り散りになった
だが鞘の中で剣は輝く
チャーリーは再び帰ってくる

感想と考察
These lyrics really resonate with me. The imagery of the boat gliding like a bird, carrying the young lad destined to be king to the Isle of Skye, feels like something out of an epic poem.With the winds howling and waves roaring, and despite facing foes on the shore, there's a hopeful message that victory awaits beyond. The line "Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep" is particularly powerful, suggesting the courage to move forward even in adversity and find tranquility.
The tragic stories of the young fighters on the battlefield evoke a sense of sorrow and loss. Yet, in the final verses, the glimmer of hope emerges with the belief that "Charlie will come again," bringing anticipation for a brighter future.
The music, with its solemn and beautiful melody, evokes a bittersweet yet resilient emotion. It seems like a song that could provide the courage to face challenges head-on and move forward.
