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.
