Original text and translations

English text

Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes,
Flow gently, I’ll sing thee a song in thy praise.

Thy crystal stream, Afton, how lovely it glides
And winds by the cot where my Mary resides.

My Mary’s asleep by thy murmuring stream;
Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream.
