Ae fond kiss and then we sever
Ae farewel and then for ever
Deep in heartwrung tears I'll pledge thee
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee
Who shall say that Fortune grieves her
While the star of hope she leaves her
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 been brokenhearted
Fare thee weel thou first and fairest
Fare thee weel thou best and dearest
Thine be ilka joy and treasure
Peace enjoyment love and pleasure
Ae fond kiss and then we sever
Ae farewel and then for ever
Deep in heartwrung tears I'll pledge thee
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee
