I'll ay ca' in by yon town

Language: English

I'll ay ca' in by yon town,
  And by yon garden green, again;
I'll ay ca' in by yon town,
  And see my bonie Jean again. -

There 's nane sall ken, there 's nane sall guess,
  What brings me back the gate again,
But she, my fairest faithfu' lass,
  And stownlins we sall meet again. -
    I'll ay ca' in by yon town...

She'll wander by the aiken tree,
  When trystin time draws near again;
And when her lovely form I see,
  O haith, she 's doubly dear again!
    I'll ay ca' in by yon town...

Mich zieht es nach dem Dörfchen hin

Language: German

Mich zieht es nach dem [Dorfe]1 hin,
In's Gärtchen, wo sie oft erschien:
Mich zieht es nach dem Dörfchen hin
Und meiner süssen holden Jean.

Und niemand wisse, ahne kaum,
Woher ich kam, wohin ich geh',
Als Liebchen, das ich dort am [Baum]2
Verstohlen meiner harren seh'.

Ja, zu der Eiche wird sie geh'n,
Wohin wir heimlich uns bestellt.
Wie doch [nach]3 jedem Wiederseh'n
Mein Liebchen doppelt mir gefällt!

Mich ziehtes nach dem [Dorfe]1 hin,
In's Gärtchen, wo sie oft erschien:
Mich zieht es nach dem Dörfchen hin
[Zu]4 meiner süssen holden Jean.
