English text
- My luve is like a red, red rose,
- that's newly sprung in June:
- my luve is like the melodie,
- that's sweetly play'd in tune.
- As fair art thou, my bonie lass,
- so deep in luve am I,
- and I will luve thee still, my dear,
- till a' the seas gang dry.
- Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
- and the rocks melt wi' the sun!
- And I will luve thee still, my dear,
- while the sands o' life shall run.
- And fare-thee-weel, my only luve,
- and fare-thee-weel a while!
- And I will come again, my luve,
- tho' it were ten-thousand mile.
