The Twa Corbies [Portuguese translation]

As I was walking all alane

I spied twa corbies making mane

The tane unto the t'other did say-o

Wat sall we gang and dine today-o?

Wat sall we gang and dine today-o?

Down behind yon auld fail dyke

I wot there lies a new slain knight

Nobody kens that he lies there-o

But his hawk and his hound and his lady fair-o

But his hawk and his hound and his lady fair-o

His hound is to the hunting gang

His hawk to fetch the moore fowl hame

His lady's ta'en another mate-o

Say, we may mak our dinner sweet-o

Say, we may mak our dinner sweet-o

You light upon his white house bane

And I'll pick out his bonny blue eye'n

With many a lock of his yellow hair-o

We'll thick our nest where it grow's bare-o

We'll thick our nest where it grow's bare-o

Many a one for him maks mane

But none shall ken where he has gang

Or his white bones when they are bare-o

The wind shall blow forevermare-o

The wind shall blow forevermare-o

As I was walking all alane

I spied twa corbies making mane

The tane unto the t'other did say-o

Wat sall we gang and dine today-o?

Wat sall we gang and dine today-o?
