Ae Fond Kiss (arr. Fraser Wilson & Apollo5)
Calum Kennedy, Robert Burns, Trad Pd
Ae fond kiss, and then we sever
Ae fareweel, 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 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!
