Je voudrais t'aimer

This space intentionally left blank.

This ship will carry me

Forward,

From the land

I will always call home.

The wind is cold,

The waves high and slate grey.

Écosse,

Je voudrais t'aimer,

Mais je ne peux pas.

This ship will carry me

Forward

Through stormy sea,

To land of my fathers,

Where the bagpipes

Mourn him still.

Écosse,

Je voudrais t'aimer

Mais je ne peux pas.

This ship will carry me

Forward,

From all i’ve ever

Held dear.

From joy and love,

To the land I never knew.

Ma belle France,

Je voudrais t'oublier

Mais je ne peux pas.

This ship will carry me

Forward,

And I know i will never

Return.

My heart is breaking,

Bleeding each moment.

Ma belle France,

Donne-moi du courage

À persévérer.

This ship will carry me

Forward

Leaving the past

Behind.

No longer a royal widow,

I am a new born bride.

Écosse, sois gentille

Avec ta fille

Perdue depuis longtemps.

This ship will carry me

Forward

To the skies of thunder,

Whispering winds,

Walls of coldest stone

And rivers of blood.

Adieu, ma France

Mon amour, mon tout,

Je ne te reverrai plus jamais.

For I am now

Mary,

The Queen of Scots.
