Faili, faili, faili o ro;
Faili, faili, faili o ro;
Faili, faili, faili o ro;
It is a very long time since I left Lewis
I feel the winter night is long
Long, long, long it is
I can see nothing but a bare prairie there
And I can't hear a wave coming to the shore.
In the evening time when it's getting dar
Often the spirit will be full of longing
Thinking that there is a long, long distance
From where I would like to be ceilidhing.
