My bonnie lies over the ocean意思

"My Bonnie lies over the ocean," is a phrase from an old Scottish folk song titled "Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond." The full lyrics of the song are:

Oh, ye'll tak' the high road, and I'll tak' the low road, And I'll be in Scotland a'fore ye. Where me and my true love will never meet again, On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.

The phrase "my Bonnie lies over the ocean" is often used as a reference to someone's beloved who is far away, across the ocean. It evokes a sense of longing and nostalgia, similar to the theme of the song itself, which speaks of two lovers who will never meet again.
