Black is the colour of my true love's hair Black is the colour of my true love's hair Preto é a cor do cabelo do meu amor verdadeiro His lips are like some roses fair His lips are like some roses fair Os seus lábios são como algumas rosas claras He's the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands He's the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands Ele tem o sorriso mais doce e as mãos mais gentis And I love the ground whereon he stands And I love the ground whereon he stands E eu amo o chão que ele pisa I love my love and well he knows I love my love and well he knows Eu amo o meu amor e ele sabe bem I love the ground whereon he goes I love the ground whereon he goes Eu amo o chão sobre o qual ele pisa How I wish the time would soon come How I wish the time would soon come Eu gostaria que aquele dia chegasse logo When he and I can be as one When he and I can be as one Quando ele e eu podemos ser um só I go to the Clyde and mourn and weep I go to the Clyde and mourn and weep Eu vou ao Clyde e lamento e choro for satisfied I'd never sleep for satisfied I'd never sleep Por satisfação, eu nunca durmo I write him a letter, just a few short lines I write him a letter, just a few short lines Eu escrevo uma carta para ele, apenas algumas linhas curtas And I suffer death ten thousand times And I suffer death ten thousand times E eu sofro a morte dez mil vezes Black is the colour of my true love's hair Black is the colour of my true love's hair Preto é a cor do cabelo do meu amor verdadeiro His lips are like some roses fair His lips are like some roses fair Os seus lábios são como algumas rosas claras He's the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands He's the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands Ele tem o sorriso mais doce e as mãos mais gentis And I love the ground whereon he stands And I love the ground whereon he stands E eu amo o chão sobre o qual ele está I love the ground whereon he stands I love the ground whereon he stands Eu amo o chão sobre o qual ele está I love, I love, I love the ground whereon he stands I love, I love, I love the ground whereon he stands Eu amo, eu amo, eu amo o chão que ele pisa.
