Ae fond kiss, and then we sever
Ae farewell, alas, for ever
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.
I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy
Naething could resist my Nancy
But to see her was to love her
Love but her, and love for ever.
Had we never lov'd sae kindly
Had we never lov'd sae blindly
Never met - or never parted
We had ne'er been broken-hearted.
Ae fond kiss, and then we sever
Ae farewell, alas, for ever
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.
Ye banks and braes o' bonnie Doon
How ye can bloom so fresh and fair
How can ye chant ye little birds
And I sae weary fu' o' care
Ye'll break my heart ye warbling birds
That wantons thro' the flowering thorn
Ye mind me o' departed joys
Departed never to return
Oft hae I rov'd 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 pu'd a rose
Fu' sweet upon its thorny tree
But my false lover stole my rose
But ah! She left the thorn wi' me
My love's like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June
My love is like a melody
So sweetly play'd in tune
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass
So deep in love am I
And I will love thee still, my dear
Though all the seas gone dry
Though all the seas gone dry, my dear
And the rocks melt with the sun
I will love thee still my dear
Though the sands o' life shall run
So fare-thee-weel, my only love
And fare-thee-weel awhile
And I will come to you again
Though it were ten thousand miles
Though it were ten thousand miles, my dear
Though it twere ten thousand miles
I will come to you again
Though it twere ten thousand miles.
