"When the Warrior Returns" - Patriotic American Song
In 1801, the fledgling United States faced increasing extortion by the Barbary pirates operating in the Mediterranean Sea. The Barbary states demanded tribute from American merchant vessels; refusal to pay would result in the capture of ships and goods, and often the enslavement or ransoming of crew members. On the orders of President Jefferson, an American naval squadron joined Swedish naval forces (who were then at war with the states) in blockading the pirates, raiding their ports, and escorting merchant shipping.

В світлім полі я несу Несу стрічку вогняну Наче грози наді мною Він блищить над головою Стяг мій вільний , Стяг сміливий Стяг мій біл-червоно білий Був відважний предок мій У Погоні бойовій Тієї погоні чую дзвін Хай женеться навздогін Стяг мій вільний , Стяг сміливий Стяг мій біл-червоно білий Залунай на весь протяг Вогняних віків протяг Є держава, є нарід Розвивайся і в політ Стяг мій вільний , Стяг сміливий Стяг мій біл-червоно білий Живе Вічно !
I'm rewatching Outlander for the ... Well, I lost track, but whenever this song plays on the Outlander episode, I'm filled with sadness. How different Scotland would have been if they had won and Bonny Prince Charlie had been placed on the Scottish throne.
That might be one of the best versions of "Men of Harlech" that ever came to my ears....
Просто неймовірне виконання, що однозначно заслуговує на вподобайку!

Who is Trelawny? Who are the Cornish?
It's unclear who Trelawny exactly is. Cornwall is a region of England, it's the only Celtic nation to not have self rule. The Cornish language, which looks similar to Welsh and Breton, had gone extinct but has been revived, with about a 1000 native tongues ad of yet. Trelawny also has a Cornish version
ruclips.net/video/PW0mhOqnUrI/видео.htmlsi=NupE4mYXZhfWvvW_
It is assumed that the Trelawny mentioned in the song is Sir Jonathan Trelawny (3rd Baronet), the Bishop of Bristol, who had been imprisoned in the Tower of London by King James II in 1688 during the Glorious Revolution. He was imprisoned for three weeks, then tried and acquitted. However, it is more likely that it refers to his grandfather, Sir John Trelawny (1st Baronet), a Cornish Royalist leader who had been imprisoned by Parliament in 1628.

It's about the cornish rebellion isn't it? Go Kernow!
Wha saw the 42nd, wha saw them gaun awa? Wha saw the 42nd merchin doon the Broomielaw? Some o them had boots an stockins Some o them had nane at aa Some o them had tattie scones For tae keep the cauld awa. Wha saw the 42nd, wha saw them gaun awa? Wha saw the 42nd merchin doon the Broomielaw? Some o them had tartan toories Some o them had nane at aa Some o them had green umbrellas For tae keep the rain awa. Wha saw the tattie howkers? Wha saw them gaun awa? Wha saw the tatttie howkers merchin doon the Broomielaw? Some o them had boots an stockins Some o them had nane at aa Some o them had a wee drop whisky For tae keep the cauld awa The tune is also played as a pipe march with an old Jacobite lyric, which was collected or made by poet James Hogg. Wha wouldna fecht for Charlie, Wha wouldna draw the sword, Wha wouldna up and rally At the Royal Prince’s word? Think on Scotia’s ancient heroes, Think on foreign foes repelled, Think on glorious Bruce and Wallace, Wha the proud usurpers quelled.
Nice, but it's a Protestant song lamenting the Sack of Magdeburger by Catholic troops in 1631. So, I could find the Imperial flag is a bit misplaced here.

How do i turn up the volume to ONE HUNDRED???
“Blood makes the sword blush” Are you sure you didn’t mean makes the sword red?
If you want to simplify it, sure you can say that. However, that’s quite literally the meaning, it’s expressed metaphorically in the original Welsh lyric, which is further reflected in the English translation. “Gwrido” means to blush, flush, or redden.
@@balladsofhistory To be honest, that was exactly what I expected, (That being that when translated it meant "to blush") I just found it funny that the sword was "blushing".

In the vocative case, why is it not “Shearlais Óig” rather than “Shearlais Óg”? Níl Gaeilge na hÈireann agam, ach tha Gàidhlig agam. I thought the Irish rules for an tuiseal gairmeach (vocative case) were the same as ours?
Epic. Just epic. This song about the last battle and heroic death of the last king of the 2nd Bulgarian Empire Ivan Shishman in 1395. Greetings from Ukraine! ✌🇺🇦
I think i overreacted. I started listening to this song, and now im standing on a cliff with my kilt blowing in the wind whilst holding a sword and reciting a Catholic prayer. I dont even have a kilt...or a sword. ...Or a prayer for that matter, Did i mention i'm Chinese? 🇨🇳🗡🤸🏔🏴
Приємно слухати

Brilliant contender (seeing as there's multiple French and German versions also) as a replacement anthem for a reformed European Union, instrumental of course.

It's important to note that this would never have been sung like this at the time; there would have been loads of repetition and improvisation.
