Is there for honest poverty That hings his heid an aa that? The couard slave we pass him by, We dare be puir for aa that For aa that, an aa that Our toils obscure an aa that The rank is but the guinea-stamp The man's the gowd for aa that. |
貧乏で恥じるものがいれば そんな奴隷みたいなものをほって置く。 我らは貧乏で構わない。 何があっても 我らの苦労が認めなくても 身分だてお金持ちの印に過ぎない。 何があっても 本当の黄金は人間だ。 |
|
Whit though on hamely fare we din Wear hoddan gray an aa that Gie fules their silks an knaves their win A man's a man for aa that For aa that, an aa tha Their tinsel show an aa that The honest man though e'er sae pui Is king o men for aa that |
食べ物が貧しくても 服が貧しくても、 ばか者に絹、悪漢にワインをやれ。 何があっても男は男だ。 何があっても 彼らが派手派手しくても、 どんなに貧しくても正直な者こそ 人の中の王だ。 |
|
Ye see yon birkie caad a lair Wha struts an stares an aa that Though hunders worship at his wor He's but a cuif for aa that For aa that, an aa tha His riband star an aa tha The man o independent mind He looks and lauchs at aa that |
あそこの男は領主と呼ばれて 偉そうに歩き回って人を見下ろしている。 大勢の人が彼の言うことを尊ぶのに ただの阿呆だ。 何があっても ピカピカな記章があっても 自分で考えるものは それらを見て笑うしかない。 |
|
A prince can mak a beltit knigh A marquis, duke an aa that But an honest man's abune his migh Guid faith, he maunna faa that For aa that, an aa tha Their dignities an aa tha The pith o sense an pride o worth Are higher rank than aa that |
王はナイトの爵位を授けられる。 伯爵や公爵なども同じだが、 正直者を作る力はない。 それを信じたら行けない。 何があっても |
|
Then lat us pray that come it ma As come it will for aa tha That sense an worth ower aa the eart Sall bear the gree an aa tha For aa that, an aa tha It's coming yet for aa tha That man tae man the hale warl owe Sall brithers be for aa that. |
