With a hey lillelu and a how lo lan;

With three shining diamonds set therein,

And the birk and the brume blooms bonnie.


“What if these diamonds lose their hue,

With a hey lillelu and a how lo lan,

Just when my love begins for to rew,

And the birk and the brume blooms bonnie.

“For when your ring turns pale and wan,

With a hey lillelu and a how lo lan,
