An Eriskay love lilt

Vair me o ro van o;

Vair me o ro ven ee;

Vair me o ru o ho.

I am sad without thee.

When I'm lonely, dear heart,

Black the night and the sea,

By love's light my foot finds

The way to thee.

Vair me o ro van o;

Vair me o ro ven ee;

Vair me o ru o ho.

Sad I am without thee.

O music of my heart,

O harp of joy,

Moon of guidance by night,

Strength and light to me.

Vair me o ro van o;

Vair me o ro ven ee;

Vair me o ru o ho.

I am sad without thee.
