Ae Fond Kiss
Robert Burns
Ae fond kiss and then we sever!
Ae fond kiss, and then forever!
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 cheerfu’ 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 forever.
Had we never loved sae kindly,
Had we never loved sae blindly,
Never met – or never parted -
We had ne’er been broken-hearted.
Fare-the-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 fond kiss, and then forever!
Deep in heart-wrung tears, I’ll pledge thee,
Warring sighs and groans I’ll wage thee.
