Here is a song by Robert Burns in one of his more soulful moods as he describes a love-lost girl as she wanders by the banks of the river Doon in Ayrshire.
Played to Napoleon in exile on St. Helena by his young friend Betsy Balcombe. Napoleon, who hated English music and called the worst in the world, remarked that it was the prettiest English air he’d ever heard. When young Betsy corrected the Emperor that it was Scottish, Napoleon simply said “I thought it was much too pretty to be English.”
@@awemetesh It produced some superb music centuries before 1900. I won't make a list here but you might look up Henry Purcell and John Bull to get started. :)
Scottish poet Robert Burns wrote this poem in the year 1791. Tagore was inspired by this song "Ye Banks and Braes" and its melodic schema was used for his song phule phule dhole dhole (ফুলে ফুলে ঢলে ঢলে)। Its not a translation.
@jagannath Roy hi sis, its not public domain, there never was a copy right on this. But that doesn't mean Tagore came up with it himself or that he "stole" it. Most indians automatically come to the conclusion that the scottish stole the tune when the scottish song is much older, and some others conclude Tagore stole the tune, which is also not true, Tagore had acknowledged he liked the tune so used it inside a Bengali assembly.
I first heard these beautiful words and music about 1967 at a Central School in remote Australia. It always stayed with me. When I had my children, and they were upset, I sang it to them and they calmed. That a poem written in 1791 could calm a child ini 1995 says so much about the longevity of prose.
In Bangladesh too, so more like in bengal, rabindranath tagore had 3 houses in Bangladesh, he has written the national anthem of Bangladesh, the biggest cultural organisation of rabindra sangeet is also Bangladeshi, he spent his a lot of his time here, and he had written a lot of his iconic masterpieces here. Bangladesh has countless roads, parks, schools, universities, buildings named after him, so ig the correct sentence would be in bengal :)
@@affan3481 Point taken. I stand corrected! Bangladesh has outstanding Rabindrasangeet singers! "Immortalized in India and Bangladesh" would be more correct. Rabindrasangeet is sometimes performed in Hindi in India.
This song is so so sweet and soothing. Can't help but mention a Bengali song based on this, written by Rabindranath Tagore, called "ফুলে ফুলে ঢলে ঢলে", which feels like a hot cup of fine Darjeeling tea in a winter morning.
Ye banks and braes o' bonnie doon How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair? How can ye chant ye little birds And i sae weary full o' care? Ye'll break my heart ye warbling birds That wanton through the flowery thorn Ye 'mind me o' departed joys Departed never to return Oft hae i roved by bonnie doon To see the rose and woodbine twine And ilka bird sang o' its love And fondly sae did i o' mine Wi' lightsome heart i pulled a rose Full sweet upon its thorny tree And my false lover stole my rose But ah she left the thorn wi' me
I thank the beauty of Scotland and their music and poet to have gifted my land a the people with our version of this legendary classic by being an inspiration for Rabindranath Tagore to write abd compose fule fule dhole dhole..
It's just heavenly! Whenever I listen to this beautiful song, it mesmerized me. It seems as if someone is twisting the heart and bringing out all the pain. It is a great feeling. 👍
@@toodumbtodie3872 with due respect sir/ma'am, credit has been given. That's why so many people know the name of the exact(original) songs from where it was inspired despite it being made in 1700's. Also he wouldn't have been a nobel laureate if he 'stole'.
Great globalist finance controls politics (conservative, labour, SNP, greens are full of great finance puppets) and wants to destroy family (gender theory, LGBT ideology, pornography, ...) because family is the greatest obstacle to the full control of people; muslim immigrants in Europe are also instruments for this satanic project; SNP has nothing Scottish about it (except the name). Read G.K. Chesterton, a great defender of family and freedom. Wake up Scots: protect your families, children and freedom!
This was the origin of country music, I think you can see how country music came about when you listen to this. well real country not the pop crap they make today 😜
@@simikess The rose stands for a womans virginity so the stealing was being deflowered, the thorn is the consequence and pain of being abandoned pregnant.
Aye but ye must remember this is our nation we’re talking aboot we’re known for some messed up shite mate but this Bonnie wee song is nae one of our mistakes🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
It's quite another matter whether Tagore did steal this tune or not but this is rather shockingly mostly in raga Shudh Kalyan in Indian classical music. It's a raga associated with tranquility and peace. It seems even a Scotsman feels the same about this particular ascent and descent of notes.
@thames -The other song by Rober Burns -"Auld Lang Syne" was taken by Danish poet Jeppe Aakjeer, and many other cpunttries like Japsn, Sputh Korea, Netherland, & Indian poet Tagore . And Naval & Military college of several countries. Tagore admitted that he took the melody. like everyone. Looks like you wanted a jab on Tagore for some reason.
It's Sutherland or one of the neighbouring counties. That blue sea and those green rocky hills are unmistakable. Probably my favourite part of the country, it's so barren but so breath-taking at the same time

He created a remake. Just the way a lot of popular artists do. If you feel a compelling need for originality in music, then why don't you create something instead of calling out a man who has done something worthwhile.

Interesting bit of history. Come to think of it, England hadn't produced any good music till the 1900s, had it ? It might have...just my ignorance 🙂

You're Lucky indeed!!!

Yes. You're very lucky indeed.
Aye same here mate🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Immortalized in India as "Phule Phule Dhole Dhole" by Rabindranath Tagore.
Late reply , but I've come here to listen to this song which inspired Tagore to write Phule Phule ... The first ever Rabindrasangeet I ever learned .
I'm sure Rabby Burns would be honored.

Beautiful Scottish accent is always haunting hello from southern ireland,
Ye banks and braes o' bonnie doon
How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair?
How can ye chant ye little birds
And i sae weary full o' care?
Ye'll break my heart ye warbling birds
That wanton through the flowery thorn
Ye 'mind me o' departed joys
Departed never to return
Oft hae i roved by bonnie doon
To see the rose and woodbine twine
And ilka bird sang o' its love
And fondly sae did i o' mine
Wi' lightsome heart i pulled a rose
Full sweet upon its thorny tree
And my false lover stole my rose
But ah she left the thorn wi' me

Attempting a medley of phulay phulay dholay dholay. Instrumental...I can't sing ☺
A medley with Banks of Bonnie Doon, that is.
We just got done playing this song in our end of winter concert in band.
It's just heavenly! Whenever I listen to this beautiful song, it mesmerized me. It seems as if someone is twisting the heart and bringing out all the pain. It is a great feeling. 👍
Just heavenly, superb, it has a strong but very sweet super power to mesmerize
I’ve lived in Australia and Canada - both beautiful in their own right but I’m fortunate to call this lovely land home. Alba gù brath.
Please listen this also "phule phule dhole dhole " - written by Rabindranath Tagore 😇❤️
awesome singer
There's a song here in New Caledonia, which has the same air. It's about a ship that sank without trace. La Monique.
Very beautiful voice
it is my favourite song. its music is very beautiful and amazing .
Really I very love mauch the song.💖💗💞❤💘💕💓💋👄💎🇧🇩
Lol flag
Indian legendary personality R.N. TAGORE adopted the tune and Indianized into sweet popular bengali song.

Sweet becomes bitter , after hearing this song of paradise.
Thanks for the lyrics, I have to sing this for the Burns competition
My friend is singing this for the Burns comp. too!
There are one Tagore Song "phule phule dhole dhole" (the blooming flowers) in the same tune.
It is the same song
Lovely i enjoyed this! Bonnie images as well ,i might have just used images the river Doon and Ayrshire
Amazing!
I wanna wake up to this song!
Me, too.
The best song in the world
Very nice
Surprising.....
Wonderful
Enchanting!!!
Beautiful lyrics. Departed never do return...
The music is ptettyt and uplifting, even if there's a sad message in it

Ok macha
I'm reading Charlotte Brontë's Shirley.
This song is really lovely.
This preserves many middle English words.
Actually traditional Scottish words my friend
Sung this song in school OMG!

same, but actually, were in the process of learning it.
same
Great

Breathtaking ❣️

I need to learn this I only have 1 week like and I will learn it
how Tagor of India made exactly same Song in Bengali! Amazing

This is not Scottish translation but tagore translated this into bengali.

@@Kakashirahulbiswas i am big tagore fan. But this is the fact dear. Just do some research. I am from bharat.
@@Kakashirahulbiswas Bruh Tagore went sicko mode and straight up stole this song.
I can no longer sing this after having learnt it ay primary school for I have read the meaning. Only a jilted woman abandoned pregnant can feel this.
Jilted, yes. But why pregnant?

Sorry, but I don't see why that prevents you singing a beautiful piece of music with a lyric by a major poet.
@@roberthooke1798 the thorn is probably just the loss of virginity to someone who lost her trust.

No it fucking isn't. Jesus, this tune and song was written by the great Robert Burns, educate yourself, ffs!

lol
I'm very lucky that it's written by Rabindra Nath Tagore and music was also created by him
That song is "phule phule dhole dhole", sung in the same tune of this Banks and Braes.
No, tagore didn't compose this song but he got inspired from this song.
He didn’t compose it! He was influenced by it and composed “fule fule dhole dhole”
It's actually the other way round.
@@meghna7057 Tagore borrowed the tune from Burns likewise he borrowed the tune of Auld Lang synergy. He himself publicly admitted this often
