Select language to translate this lyric
Ae fond kiss and then we sever
Ae farewell, alas, forever
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee
Who's to say that fortune grieves him
While the star of hope she leaves him?
Me, no cheerful twinkle lights me
Dark despair around benights me
I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy
Nothing could resist my Nancy
But to see her was to love her
Love but her and love forever
Had we never loved so kindly
Had we never loved so blindly
Never met or never parted
We'd ne'er been so broken-hearted
Fare thee well, thou first and fairest
Fare thee well, thou best and dearest
Thine be ilka joy and treasure
Peace, enjoyment, love and pleasure
Ae fond kiss and then we sever
Ae farewell, alas, forever
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee
