English text
Ye banks and braes o' bonnie Doon,
How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair?
How can ye chant, ye little birds,
And I sae weary, full o' care?
Ye'll break my heart, ye warbling bird,
That warble on the flowery thorn,
Ye mind me o' departed joys,
Departed never to return.
Oft have I roved by bonnie Doon
To see the rose and woodbine twine;
By morning and by evening shine
To hear the birds sing o' their loves,
As fondly once I sang o' mine;
Wi' lightsome heart I stretched my hand
And pulled a rosebud from the tree
But my lover stole the rose
And left, and left the thorn wi' me.
