Ae Fond Kiss

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

Who shall say that fortune grieves him
While the star of hope she leaves him
Me, nae cheerful twinkle lights me
Dark despair around beknights me

I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy
Nothing can resist my Nancy
For to see her was to love her
Love but her, and love for ever

Fare thee weel, thou first and fairest
Fare thee weel, my best and dearest
Thine be ilka joy and treasure
Peace, enjoyment, love and pleasure

Had we never loved so kindly
Had we never loved so blindly
Nor never met, nor never parted
We would ne'er ha' been so broken-hearted

Ae fond kiss, and then we sever
Ae fareweel, again, for ever
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee

I'll wish thee
I'll wish
Thine be like joy
Joy
Peace
Thine be like joy
Joy
Joy
Peace
Peace
