Ae Fond Kiss - Robert Burns (Traditional Scottish Ballad)

[@Elemenohpea440]

This is my favorite Burns song. Excuse me while I weep for a bit.

[@scottjameswatson]

Thank you, I hope there are a least a few tears of joy. It is definitely one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

Very pleasant, Scott! Thank you. I was able to sing this at this past Burns night. However, I used a different tune.

[@scottjameswatson]

Thank you, much appreciated. Yeah quite a few of Burns' works have multiple tunes for them - big one being Auld Lang Syne. Was only recently I realised that was the case with Ae Fond Kiss as well. He originally set it to "Rory Dalls Port" this version is from an old Gaelic air known as "My love today as heretofore".

Another traditional ballad that I have never heard before, although elements sound familiar. Did you ever sing this on one of your streams at all?

[@scottjameswatson]

Not sure. If I did, it would only have been a handful of times.
