As fair thou art, my bonie lasso, 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, An 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 awhile; And I will come again, my luve, tho'it were ten thousand mile! 啊，我爱人象一朵红红的玫瑰， 它在六月里初开； 啊，我爱人象一支乐曲， 它美妙地演奏起来。 你是那么漂亮，美丽的姑娘， 我爱你是那么深切； 我会一直爱你，亲爱的， 一直到四海枯竭。 一直到四海枯竭，亲爱的， 到太阳把岩石烧化； 我会一直爱你，亲爱的， 只要生命之流不绝。 再见吧，我唯一的爱人， 让我和你小别片刻； 我会回来的，亲爱的， 即使我们万里相隔。
