Elftones & Rhiannon Giddens - Ae Fond Kiss Lyrics

Elftones & Rhiannon Giddens Lyrics

"Ae Fond Kiss"

Ae fond kiss, and then we sever
Ae farewell, and then forever
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee
Warring sighs and groans I'll 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

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 for ever

Had we never lov'd sae kindly
Had we never lov'd sae blindly
Never met, or never parted
We'd had ne'er been 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, for ever!
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee
