    The violets were scenting the woods, No-ra
    Dis- playing their charms to the bees
    When I first said I loved only you, No-ra
    And you said you loved only me

    ( Chorus
    The chestnut blooms gleamed through the glade, No-ra
    A robin sang loud from a tree
    When I first said I loved on-ly you, No-ra
    And you said you loved on-ly me )

    The golden-robed daffodils shone, No-ra
    And danced in the breeze on the lea (fallow land)
    When I first said I loved only you, No-ra
    And you said you loved only me

    The trees, birds and bees sang a song, No-ra
    Of happier transports to be
    When I first said I loved only you, No-ra
    And you said you loved only me

    Our hopes they have never come true, No-ra
    Our dreams they were never to be
    Since I first said I loved only you, No-ra
    And you said you loved only me
