Red rose - a photo on Flickriver

Red rose

            O my luve is like a red, red rose 
That's newly sprung in June; 
O my luve's like the melodie 
That's sweetly played in tune. 
As fair art thou, my bonny lass, 
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, 
And the rocks melt wi' the sun; 
I will luve thee still, my dear, 
While the sands o' life shall run. 
And fare thee weel, my only love, 
And fare thee weel, awhile! 
And I will come again, my love 
Tho' it were ten thousand mile. 

by The Scot's poet Robert Burns.

An attempt at translating into modern English:

My love is like a red, red rose
That newly blooms in June,
My love is like a beautiful song,
That is sweetly played in tune.
You are so fair, my beautiful lady,
So  deeply in love, am I,
I  will still love you, my dear,
Until all the seas run dry,
And the rocks will melt with the sun,
I will still love you, my dear,
While the sands of life still run,
And farewell to you, my only love,
And goodbye for a while,
And I will come again to you, my love,
Even though, it were ten thousand miles.

by Robert Burns, translated by David Shand.
