The Skye Boat Song

Sing me a song of a lass that is gone,

Say, could that lass be I?

Merry of soul she sailed on a day

Over the sea to Skye.

Billow and breeze, islands and seas,

Mountains of rain and sun,

All that was good, all that was fair,

All that was me is gone.

Sing me a song of a lass that is gone,

Say, could that lass be I?

Merry of soul she sailed on a day

Over the sea to Skye

Unaltered version by Robert Louis Stevenson:

[Chorus]

Sing me a song of a lad that is gone,

Say, could that lad be I?

Merry of soul he sailed on a day

Over the sea to Skye.

Mull was astern, Rum on the port,

Eigg on the starboard bow,

Glory of youth glowed in his soul,

Where is that glory now?

[Chorus]

Give me again all that was there,

Give me the sun that shone!

Give me the eyes, give me the soul,

Give me the lad that's gone!

[Chorus]

Billow and breeze, islands and seas,

Mountains of rain and sun,

All that was good, all that was fair,

All that was me is gone.

The Skye Boat

 (Le bateau de Skye) 

Chante moi l'histoire de cette exploratrice 

Dis, pourrait-elle être moi ? Âme épanouie voguant sans ennui 

Sur l'océan vers 

Skye Vent et marées, îles et contrées 

Montagnes de pluie radieuses 

Toute la bonté, toute la gaieté 

Tout ce que j'étais n'est plus 

Chante moi l'histoire de cette exploratrice 

Dis, pourrait-elle être moi ? Âme épanouie voguant sans ennui 

Sur l'océan vers Skye

History 

For those that don’t know, this song is based on "The Skye Boat Song", a late 19th century Scottish song recalling the journey of Prince Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie) from Uist to the Isle of Skye as he evaded capture by Government troops after his defeat at the Battle of Culloden.

Sir Harold Boulton an English Baronet who was born in Kent wrote it about 100 years after Bonnie Prince Charlie's demise. 

How Did Bonnie Prince Charlie Die in Real Life?

Bonnie Prince Charlie died due to a stroke on January 31, 1788, at Palazzo Muti, in Rome. His date of death is disputed since certain accounts state that he died on January 30, 1788, and the date was changed to the next day to not declare him dead on the same date as the death of his great-grandfather, King Charles I. Charlie was aged 67 at the time of his death and was initially buried in Frascati Cathedral near Rome, where his brother Henry Benedict Stuart served as a bishop. After Henry’s death, Charlie’s remains, except his heart, were moved to St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican.

The defeat in the Battle of Culloden and the failure of reviving the Jacobite cause against the British reportedly led Charlie to alcoholism. As per multiple reports, Charlie also maintained several affairs with numerous women while living in France. In 1752, Charlie began to live with his mistress Clementina Walkinshaw. However, Clementina fled to a convent in 1760, apparently due to “repeated bad treatment” from the prince. In 1772, Charlie married 20-year-old Princess Louise of Stolberg-Gedern, a marriage that was affected by the prince’s alcoholism and abusive behavior. In 1780, Louise left Charlie, ending their marriage.

“The prince’s health continued to worsen as his intake increased to six bottles of wine daily – along with the regular bottle or two of brandy. […] He was also highly jealous of his young wife and servants reported beatings and screaming quarrels,” Roderick Graham, the author of the biography ‘Bonnie Prince Charlie: Truth Or Lies,’ said via The Scotsman. “He irrationally attacked Louise, attempted unsuccessfully to rape her and then set about strangling her, tearing out chunks of her hair in the process,” he added.

From 1783, Bonnie Prince Charlie was severely ill and was under the care of his daughter until his death. After the end of the Stuart cause, Charlie did not return to Scotland. After his time in France, he went to Rome, his birthplace. He stayed in Palazzo Muti, the residence of the exiled Stuart dynasty in Rome, and died at the residence after years of ill health in 1788. Even though his uprising against Britain did not yield success, Charlie became a famed and memorable part of Scottish history. The Monument to the Royal Stuarts was erected in St. Peter’s Basilica, in the Vatican, to commemorate him, his father, and his brother.
