[00:02.42]Ae fond kiss and then we sever
[00:09.66]Ae farewell, alas, forever!
[00:17.24]Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee
[00:25.78]Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee!

[00:36.64]Who’s say that fortune grieves him
[00:44.09]While the star of hope she leaves him?
[00:51.53]Me, no cheerful twinkle lights me
[00:58.77]Dark despair around benights me
[01:07.68]
[01:10.21]I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy

[01:41.72]
[01:44.12]Had we never loved so kindly
[01:51.85]Had we never loved so blindly
[01:59.24]Never met or never parted
[02:07.21]We'd ne'er been so broken-hearted
[02:15.99]
[02:48.62]Fare thee well, thou first and fairest!
[02:56.01]Fare thee well, thou best and dearest!
[03:03.69]Thine be ilka joy and treasure
[03:11.42]Peace, enjoyment, love and pleasure!
[03:20.54]
[03:23.83]Ae fond kiss and then we sever!
[03:31.40]Ae farewell, alas, forever!
[03:39.29]Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee
[03:47.57]Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee!
