Sèist: Chorus:
Faili faili faili o ro Faili faili faili o ro
Faili faili faili o ro Faili faili faili o ro
Faili faili faili o ro Faili faili faili o ro
'S cian nan cian bho dh'fhàg mi Leodhas It is a time of long times since I left Lewis
   
'S fhada leam an oidhche gheamhraidh I feel the winter night long
'S fhada 's fhada 's fhada leam i Long, long, long it is
'S nach fhaic mi ach prèiridh lom ann I can see nothing but a bare prairie there
'S cha chluinn tonn ri tighinn gu tràigh ann And I can't hear a wave coming to the shore
   
(Sèist) (Chorus)
   
'N àm do'n fheasgar a bhi ciaradh In the evening time when it's getting dark
'S tric a bhios mo spiorad cianail Often the spirit will be full of longing
Smaoineachadh g'eil cian nan cian uam Thinking that there is a long, long distance
Far 'm bu mhiann leam dhol a chèilidh From where I would like to be ceilidhing
   
Sgap an comunn, sgaoil na fiùrain ___
Is tha mòran dhiubh 's an ùir orr' ___
Chunnaic mise cridheil sùrdail ___
'S o bu shùgradh bhi gan èisdeachd? ___
   
(Sèist) (Chorus)
   
Ach càite nis a-nochd an teid mi? ___
Chan eil cèilidh air a' phrèridh ___
'S o chan fhaic mi'n àm dhomh èirigh ___
'N àirde 'g èiridh ceò na mònach ___
   
(Sèist) (Chorus)
