Alderney

Dies ist Gordon McKenzies Lied.
Sein Lied von Alderney
Dem stolzen Schloß seines Clans
Das er eines Tages für immer verlieren sollte.
refrain:
Alderney - Hoch in den Bergen von Northern Green
Alderney - in Deinen Mauern war ich einst zu Hause
Alderney - Schloß meiner Väter, das ich geliebt
Ach könnt ich Dich nur einmal wiedersehen!
Charles und Gordon waren zwei Brüder
Sangen als Kinder die gleichen Lieder
Jagten gemeinsam in den Wäldern
Doch aus Bruderliebe und Freundschaft
Wurde eines Tages bitt're Feindschaft
Als sie sahn:
Sie liebten beide dasselbe Mädchen
refrain
Charles und Gordon waren zwei Brüder
Man sagte einer stach den andren nieder
Doch ihren fairen Kampf sah keiner
Wie ein Mörder mußte Gordon fliehen
Kein McKenzie hat ihm je verziehen
Rastlos zieht er nun umher
Und findet keinen Frieden
refrain
