Ae Fond Kiss
Ae fond kiss, and then we sever!
Ae farewel, 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 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 lovеd sae blindly
Never mеt or never parted
We would ne'er been broken-hearted

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 heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee!
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee!
