Gaelic Lyrics:
Faili, faili, faili o ro
Faili, faili, faili o ro
Faili, faili, faili o ro
'S cian nan cian bho dh'fhag mi Leodhas
'S fhada leam an oidhche gheamhraidh
'S fhada 's fhada 's fhada leam i
'S nach fhaic mi ach preiridh lom ann
'S cha chluinn tonn ri tigh'nn gu traigh ann
'N am do'n fheasgar a bhi ciaradh
'S tric a bhios mo spiorad cianail
Smaoineachadh g' el cian nan cian uam
Far 'm bu mhiann leam dhol a cheilidh
English Translation:
Faili, faili, faili o ro
Faili, faili, faili o ro
Faili, faili, faili o ro
It is a time of long times since I left Lewis
I feel the winter night 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 dark
Often the spirit will be full of longing
Thinking that there is a long, long distance
From where I would like to be ceilidhing
