-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ae fond kiss and then we sever; Ae fareweel, and then for ever! Deep in heart-wrung tears I`ll pledge thee, Warring sighs and groans I`ll wage thee.
Who shall say that Fortune grieves him, While the star of hope she leaves him? Me, nae cheerful twinkle lights me; Dark despair around benights me.
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.
Fare-thee-weel, though first and fairest! Fare-thee-weel, though best and dearest! Thine be ilka joy and treasure, Peace, Enjoyment, Love and Pleasure!
Ae fond kiss, and then we sever! Ae fareweel, alas, for ever! Deep in heart-wrung tears I`ll pledge thee, Warring sighs and groans I`ll wage thee.
