ye banks and braes It is summer. Nature is in bloom and everything is full of life. But the person in this song is sad because they have a broken heart and not even the beauty of summer can cheer them up. Ye Banks and Braes is performed by Ellie Beaton.  Ye Banks and Braes - lyrics

| YE BANKS AND BRAES by Robert Burns 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 fu o care? Ye'll brak my hert, ye warblin bird, That wantons through the flooery thorn Ye mind me o depairted joys Depairted never tae return Aft hae I roved by bonnie Doon Tae see the rose and woodbine twine And ilka bird sang o its love And fondly sae did I o mine Wi lichtsome hert I pu’d a rose Fu sweet upon its thorny tree And my fause lover stole my rose But ach! he left the thorn wi me. |
