Available translations (or transliterations, if applicable):


black black black is the colour of my true love's hair
his lips are something rosy fair
the sweetest smile and the kindest hands
I love the grass whereon he stands

I love my love and well he knows
I love the grass whereon he goes
if he no more on earth will be
'twill surely be the end of me
