about

A lively Scottish song sung by both Peter and Steven. The lyrics - by Hugh Roberton - speak of the Scottish philosophy, immortalised by Robert Burns and others, that all men are brothers and are born equal. The chorus captures well the energetic character of the twins and they sing it with great relish!

lyrics

There’s lilt in the song I sing, there's laughter and love
There's tang o' the sea, and blue from heaven above
Of reason there’s nane, and why should there be forbye
With fire in the blood, and toes and light in the eye

Air fa la la lo horo air fa la la lay
Air fa la la lo horo air fa la la lay
Air fa la la lo horo air fa la la lay
Faleefalo horo air fa la la lay

The heather’s ablaze, wi bloom the myrtle is sweet
There's song in the air, the road’s a song at our feet
So step it along, as light as the bird on the wing
And stepping along, let’s join our voices and sing

And whether the blood, be highland or lowland or no
And whether the skin, be white or black as the sloe
Of kith and of kin we’re one, be it right be it wrong
If only our hearts beat true, to the lilt o’ the song
