O my luve's like the melodie, That's sweetly played in tune. As fair art thou my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I. I will luve thee still,my dear, Till all the seas gang dry. I will luve thee still,my dear, While the sands of life shall run, Till all the seas gang dry,my dear, and rocks melt with the sun. As fair art thou my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I. I will come again,my luve, Though it were ten thousand mile。 我的愛人像一朵紅玫瑰， 六月裡初綻芳香。 我的愛人像一首旋律， 如此的甜美動聽。 妳是如此美麗，我的小姑娘， 我是如此深愛著妳。 我愛妳永不渝，親愛的， 儘管海水已枯乾。 我仍深愛妳不渝，親愛的； 儘管生命的沙漏落不停， 儘管海水已枯乾， 儘管石頭隨烈日消融， 妳是如此美麗，我的小姑娘， 我是如此深愛著妳。 我將回到妳的身邊，我的愛人， 儘管是相距千萬里。  less
