Lyrics:

ae fond kiss and then we sever
ae fareweel, alas for ever
deep in heart-wrung tears Ill pledge thee
warring sighs and groans Ill 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

Ill neer blame my partial fancy
nothing can resist my Nancy
for to see her was to love her
love but her, and love for ever

had we never loved sae kindly
had we never loved sae blindly
nor never met, nor never parted
we would never have been so broken-hearted

fare thee weel, my first and fairest
fare thee weel, my best and dearest
thine be like joy and treasure&
peace, enjoyment, love and pleasure

mmm, ae fond kiss, and then we sever
ae fareweel alas, for ever
deep in heart-wrung tears Ill pledge thee
warring sighs and groans Ill wage thee
