Johnie Lad, Cock Up Your Beaver
Language: Scottish (Scots)
Chosen for Diff
When first my brave Johnie lad came to this town, He had a blue bonnet that wanted the crown; But now he has gotten a hat and a feather, Hey, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver! Cock up your beaver, and cock it fu' sprush, We'll over the border, and gie them a brush; There's somebody there we'll teach better behaviour, Hey, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver!

Горский парень
Language: Russian (Русский) after the Scottish (Scots)
Chosen for Diff
Лучший парень наших лет, Славный парень, славный парень, На плече он носит плед, Славный горский парень. Носит шапку пирожком, Славный парень, славный парень, Он с изменой незнаком, Славный горский парень. Слышишь звонкий зов трубы, Дочь полей, дитя долины, Зов трубы и гром пальбы, Девушка долины? Слава в бой меня зовёт, Дочь полей, дитя долины, За свободу и народ, Девушка долины! Легче солнце двинуть вспять, Чем тебя поколебать, Славный горский парень.
