Secreit Nicht (Undrentide) Lyrics

Lyrics (15th century English)
Translation

In secreit place, this hindir nicht,
In the night just gone, in a secret place,

I hard ane beirne say till ane bricht,
I overheard a brave man tell someone fair,

'My huny, my hart, my heill,
'My honey-sweet, my heart, my health,

I have bene lang your luifar leill,
Long I have been your loyal lover,

This hindir nicht,
This last night,

Ye brek my hart, my bony ane..
You break my heart, my bonny one..
