Faili faili faili o ro
Faili faili faili o ro
'S cian nan cian bho dh'fhàg mi Leodhas
'S fhada leam an oidhche gheamhraidh
'S fhada 's fhada 's fhada leam i
'S nach fhaic mi ach prèiridh lom ann
'S cha chluinn tonn ri tighinn gu tràigh ann
'N àm do'n fheasgar a bhi ciaradh
'S tric a bhios mo spiorad cianail
Smaoineachadh g'eil cian nan cian uam
Far 'm bu mhiann leam dhol a chèilidh
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
