English text
O, my love is like a red, red rose,
That is newly sprung in June.
O, my love is like the melody,
That is sweetly played in tune.
As fair are you, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I,
And I will love you still, my Dear,
‘Til all the seas run dry.
‘Til all the seas run dry, my Dear,
And the rocks melt with the sun,
And I will love you still, my Dear,
While the sands of life shall run.
But fare you well, my only Love,
Ofare theewell a while
And I will come again, my Love,
Tho ‘twere ten thousand mile.
