Tekst piosenki
O Cruel is the snow
That sweeps Glencoe
And covers the grave O Donald
And cruel was the foe
That raped Glencoe
And murderd the house of MacDonald
They came in a blizzard
We offered them heat
A roof o’er their heads
Dry shoes for their feet
We wined them and dined them
They ate of our meat
And they slept in the house of MacDonald
They came from Fort William
Wi' murder in mind
The Campbells had orders
King William had signed
Put all to the sword
These words were underlined
And leave none alive called
MacDonald
They came in the night
When the men were asleep
This band O' Argyles
Through snow soft and deep
Like murdering foxes
Among helpless sheep
They slaughtered the house of MacDonald
Some died in their beds
At the hand of the foe
Some fled in the night
And were lost in the snow
Some lived to accuse him
That struck the first blow
But gone was the house of MacDonald
Tłumaczenie tekstu piosenki
O Cruel is the snow
That sweeps Glencoe
I zakrywa grób Donalda
I okrutny był wróg
Który zgwałcił Glencoe
And murderd the house of MacDonald
Przyszli w zamieci
Zaoferowaliśmy im ciepło.
A roof o ' er their heads
Dry shoes for their feet
Jedliśmy i jedliśmy.
Jedli nasze mięso.
I spali w domu Macdonalda
Przybyli z Fort William
Wi ' murder in mind
Campbellowie mieli rozkazy
Król Wilhelm podpisał
Put all to the sword
Słowa te zostały podkreślone
And leave none alive called
MacDonald
They came in The night
Kiedy ludzie spali
This band O ' Argyles
Przez śnieg miękki i głęboki
Jak mordujące lisy
Wśród bezbronnych owiec
Wymordowali ród Macdonaldów.
Niektórzy zmarli w łóżkach.
At the hand of the foe
Niektórzy uciekli w nocy.
And were lost in the snow
Niektórzy żyli, by go oskarżyć.
Który zadał pierwszy cios
Ale nie było domu Macdonalda
