My darling, do not break your heart
|
Though I leave this Irish shore
|
Though their cruel laws may force us to part
|
Fate may join we two once more
|
|
Take this farewell kiss as a token
|
Of my love while far I stray
|
For true love will never be broken
|
Let me kiss your tears away
|
|
Like the rain, like the rain
|
When he turned his back to Donegal
|
Her tears fell like the rain
|
|
Don't let your eyes fill with sorrow, love
|
Don't wet your pretty cheeks with tears
|
There will come a bright new tomorrow, love
|
There will come an end to fears
|
|
Dark may seem our lives' December
|
Time will bring to us the May
|
Love will guide me back, remember
|
Let me kiss your tears away
|
|
Like the rain, like the rain
|
When he turned his back to Donegal
|
Her tears fell like the rain
|
|
Take this jewelled ring to wear, my love
|
While I am o'er the wave
|
Next my heart you know I will wear, my love
|
This lock of hair you gave
|
|
Kiss me once before we sever
|
For my safety, say you'll pray
|
You will be my dearest, forever, love
|
Let me kiss your tears away.
|
|
Like the rain, just falling like the rain
|
When he turned his back to Donegal
|
Her tears fell like the rain
|
|
Like the rain, like the rain
|
When he turned his back to Donegal
|
His tears fell like the rain
|
