O wad some power the giftie gie us
To see oursel's as ithers see us!
It wad frae monie a blunder free us.
An' foolish notion;
What airs in dress an' gait wad lea'e us,
And ev'n devotion!
Translation:
O would some Power the gift to give us
To see ourselves as others see us!
It would from many a blunder free us,
And foolish notion:
What airs in dress and gait would leave us,
And even devotion!
To see oursel's as ithers see us!
It wad frae monie a blunder free us.
An' foolish notion;
What airs in dress an' gait wad lea'e us,
And ev'n devotion!
Translation:
O would some Power the gift to give us
To see ourselves as others see us!
It would from many a blunder free us,
And foolish notion:
What airs in dress and gait would leave us,
And even devotion!
