Hector The Hero - Scottish folk song as performed by Catuvellauni.
A fantastic version of one of my favourite songs. Awesome!
This is a lovely version of Hector the Hero!
Thank you Ruth! Really appreciate that 😊
Very good.
Was wondering if you could put in the comments the words to the song, I can’t catch all of it but I would like to know it thanks from Texas.
Oh, wail for the mighty in battle,
Loud lift ye the coronach strain,
For Hector the Hero of deathless fame,
Will never come back again.
Lament him, ye mountains of Ross-Shire,
Your tears be the dew and the rain,
Ye forests and straths, let the sobbing winds,
Unburden your grief and pain,
Lament him ye warm hearted clansmen,
And mourn for a kinsman so true
The pride of the highlands, the valiant MacDonald,
Will never come back to you.
Lament him ye sons of old Scotia,
Ye kinsman on many a shore,
A patriot warrior fearless of foe,
Has fallen to rise no more.
Has fallen to rise no more.
Oh wail for the mighty in battle,
Loud lift ye the coronach strain,
For Hector the Hero of deathless fame,
Will never come back again.
Oh cherish his triumph and glory,
On Omdurman's death stricken plain,
His glance like the eagle, his heart like the lion,
His laurels a nation's gain.
O rest thee brave heart in thy slumber,
Forgotten shall ne'er be thy name,
The love and the mercy of heaven be thine,
Our love thou must ever claim,
To us thou art Hector the hero,
The chivalrous, dauntless, and true,
The hills and the glens and the hearts of a nation,
Re-echo the wail for you.
Lament him ye sons of old scotia,
Ye kinsman on many a shore,
A patriot warrior fearless of foe,
Has fallen to rise no more.
Has fallen to rise no more.
Lament him ye sons of old Scotia,
Ye kinsman on many a shore,
A patriot warrior fearless of foe,
Has fallen to rise no more.
Has fallen to rise no more.
Oh, wail for the mighty in battle,
Loud lift ye the coronach strain,
For Hector the Hero of deathless fame,
Will never come back again.
@@reb0118 damn, thanks partner I recently clicked on the documentary of Hector, Hell of a soldier🤠🤘
the bass was not made to be played in this room i guess, very close call :D
Nice! We do this without lyrics.
Thanks for your comment Paul! I'm told that traditionally it's always played as an instrumental in the Highlands, but when I saw the lyrics I couldn't resist! ~Joe
@@catuvellauni2794 we played it a few hours ago actually with Si Bheag, Si mhor 😊
@@27horses231 Nice! Have you guys got some vids up or recordings we can have a listen to? ~Joe
Very rare to hear the lyrics to this!
I can't find any origin for the name catuvelauni ?
It's driving me mad.
Their coins have chriftans names and the settlement Verlamio.
Which lasts today the river Ver
Can we be sure that wasn't the tribal name ?
No coins have catuvelauni or Catu etc inscribed.
Caesar ( or any roman) doesnt use the word ..
I live in Stalbans its something that's always bothered me .
Nice version but the bassist playing is a little sharp in spots
