A Red Red Rose -Robert Burns

     O my Luve's 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 bonnie 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 Luve,
　　And fare thee weel awhile!
　　And I will come again, my Luve,
　　Tho' it ware ten thousand mile.

     愛する人は　6月に咲く
　　赤い赤い　バラのようだ
　　愛する人は　音も妙に
　　響き渡る　メロディーだ

　　愛する人よ　君の心の
　　深きが如く　私は愛す
　　愛しい人よ　君を愛す
　　たとえ海が　干上がるとも

　　たとえ海が　干上がるとも
　　岩が熱に　溶けようとも
　　命の砂が　飛び散ろうとも
　　愛しい人よ　君を愛す

　　さようなら　愛しい人よ　
　　ここにしばし　暇を告げん
　　いつかまた　戻ってこよう
　　たとえ遠く　離れていても

II. About the Author

Robert Burns (25 January 1759 – 21 July 1796), also known as Rabbie Burns, the Bard of Ayrshire and various other names and epithets was a Scottish poet and lyricist. He is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and is celebrated worldwide. He is the best known of the poets who have written in the Scots language, although much of his writing is also in English and a light Scots dialect, accessible to an audience beyond Scotland.
