Nos campos da Flandres as papoilas florescem Entre as cruzes, fila por fila, Que marcam o nosso lugar; e no céu As cotovias ainda cantam, bravas, voam E mal se ouvem por entre os canhões lá em baixo. Somos os Mortos. Há poucos dias Vivíamos, sentíamos a m adrugada, víamos o brilho do sol poente, Amávamos e éramos amados, e agora jazemos Nos campos da Flandres. Prossigam o nosso combate com o inimigo: A vós lançamos, de mãos que esmorecem, A tocha; que seja vossa e que a ergais alto Se trairdes a fé dos que morremos Não dormiremos, ainda que as papoilas cresçam Nos campos da Flandres.

A papoula vermelha foi um grande símbolo da Primeira Guerra Mundial, símbolo o qual é atribuído até os dias de hoje. John McCrae, um cirurgião canadense, escreveu um poema em homenagem a um amigo que morreu no conflito, nele ele menciona a papoula como sangue dos mortos no campo de Flandres, na Bélgica. As papoulas Vermelhas são vistas como recordações dos soldados caídos durante as batalhas. O “Remembrance Day” (Dia da Lembrança), também é conhecido como “Poppy Day” (Dia da Papoula) e é celebrado no dia 11/11. #remembranceday #poppyday #soldiers #war #warfield #british #johnmacrae #henrycavill #hcbrazilianfans

The Outlander Season 7 mid-season finale ends with one specific Scots Gaelic song 🎶 a classic ballad, with deeper meaning. “Tha mi sigith ‘n fhogar seo,” or “I am weary of this exile.” This song has traditionally been attributed to John MacRae, Iain mac Mhurchaidh, who was born in Lianag a’ Chùl Doire in Kintail-a mountainous area sitting at the head of Loch Duich in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland.

After the Jacobite rebellion of 1745-6 and the crushing defeat at Culloden and its bloody aftermath, he emigrated to North Carolina around 1774. When the American War of Independence began in 1775 he joined the loyalist army, fighting with the Royal Highland Emigrants the (84th Regiment of Foot)

The Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge was fought between the United Colonies and Great Britain on February 27, 1776, near Wilmington, North Carolina, during the American Revolution. It was the first battle of the war that took place in North Carolina.

He fought at the battle of Moore’s Creek on the 27th of February, 1776. The loyalists lost and as he relates in the song, he became an outlaw who was eventually captured and imprisoned, his songs were so influential among the Carolina Gaels, he was dealt with in a particularly harsh way by the rebels.

According to tradition his Carolina songs were brought back to Scotland by another John MacRae, Iain mac a’ Ghobha of Bundaloch, Dornie. Some of Iain mac Mhurchaidh’s songs were published in the Celtic Magazine in 1882.
