这是两个男人,他们因为参与18世纪中叶英格兰苏格兰詹姆斯党人的复辟叛乱而被捕,并被判处绞刑。可是死刑执行之前他们被告知,他们两人中有一人可以免死并被释放,另一人则要赴死。这首歌里唱的就是那个要赴死的勇士写给他心爱的女人的告别信,他把这信托给免死而将走向自由的战友,请求他把信带给他的爱人。
歌词里唱到“低路” ,low road 和 high road,这两个词是歌曲里最具意义的词,low road 指的是人死后灵魂所走的路,而 high road 则是生者前行的路,这两条路将永远不能交汇,正是天上人间之隔。
下面是歌词:
By yon bonnie banks an' by yon bonnie braes
Whaur the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond
Whaur me an' my true love will ne'er meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon'.
Chorus:
O ye'll tak' the high road, and Ah'll tak' the low road
And Ah'll be in Scotlan' afore ye
Fir me an' my true love will ne'er meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon'.
'Twas there that we perted in yon shady glen
On the steep, steep sides o' Ben Lomon'
Whaur in (soft) purple hue, the hielan hills we view
An' the moon comin' oot in the gloamin’.
Chorus:
The wee birdies sing an' the wild flouers spring
An' in sunshine the waters are sleeping
But the broken heart it kens, nae second spring again
Tho' the waeful may cease frae their greeting.
