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
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
