Ae Fond Kiss lyrics
Song information
Artist: Andy M. Stewart
Album: Songs Of Robert Burns
Lyrics
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 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, 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 fareweeli alas, for ever!
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee
