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. :)
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.
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. 👍
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..
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

@@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.

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
@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 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.
+Saadi Sabyasachi It's 'Scots' an English dialect that they speak in Scotland and have done for many hundreds of years, hence why a lot of Trad scots songs have english lyric's. Note the use of "Ye" instead of "You" etc.. It's not really engish, it's Scot's, it's theirs now. It is true that many Scot's also speak Gaelic but it's not as common as you might think. There are still plenty of Gaelic songs out there though.
Never realised that the comment section on a rendition of Ye Banks and Braes would turn into an Indian fist fight. Who says social media isn't educational?
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!!!

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.

A medley with Banks of Bonnie Doon, that is.
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 😇❤️
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
Sweet becomes bitter , after hearing this song of paradise.
Very beautiful voice
We just got done playing this song in our end of winter concert in band.

Sooo touching, wonderful,this tenderness in this song👏👏👏
Singing this for choir, and OH MY GOD, THIS SONG IS SO PRETTY BRO ISTG I WOULD SING THIS TO MY FIRSTBORN CHILD 😭🥹

Surprising.....
Wonderful
There are one Tagore Song "phule phule dhole dhole" (the blooming flowers) in the same tune.
It is the same song
The best song in the world
Enchanting!!!
Thanks for the lyrics, I have to sing this for the Burns competition

This song is really lovely.
Very nice
I wanna wake up to this song!
Me, too.
Breathtaking ❣️
Sung this song in school OMG!

same, but actually, were in the process of learning it.
same
The music is ptettyt and uplifting, even if there's a sad message in it

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

How do I get in touch with the singer
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.

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.

Is the lyrics an ancient english or gaelic?
English, scottish Gaelic is more like Alba
@@multidimensionalhypercube, thanks for your answer, sorry, but, what is Alba?
@@HAL011964 it's the Scottish Gaelic word for Scotland I think, i can't quite remember.
@@multidimensionalhypercube alba IS Scotland
It's Scots, a dialect of English, as spoken by Rabbie Burns.
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
