Ae fond kiss and then we sever Ae fareweel and then forever Deep in heart wrung tears i'll pledge thee Warring sighs and groans i'll wage thee Wha should say that fortune grieves him While the star of hope she leaves him? Me nae cheerfu' twinkle lights me Dark despair around benights me
Had we never loved sae kindly Had we never loved sae blindly Never met or never parted We would ne'er be broken hearted Fare-thee-weel thou first and fairest Fare-thee-weel thou best and dearest Thine be ilke joy and treasure Peace enjoyment love and pleasure
