| This is an old Welsh air. The English translation is by Walter Maynard. It appears in Songs of Wales (1879). |
If she were mine, and lov'd me well. Life would be naught but pleasure, I would not care for sacks of gold, Nor other earthly treasure. Her winning ways, her laughing eyes, Throw such a charm about her, She must be mine, yes, mine alone, I cannot live without her. If she were mine, my aim would be, To make her love me dearly, That all her heart, and all her thoughts, Belonged to me sincerely; But should I find, to my dismay, I had good cause to doubt her, Then were she mine, yet loved me not, I'd rather be without her. |
