An Eriskay Love Lilt

Refrain:

Vair me oro van o
Vair me oro van ee
Vair me oru o ho
Sad am I without thee

When I'm lonely, dear white heart,
Black the night or wild the sea,
By love's light my foot finds
The old pathway to thee.

Refrain

Thou'rt the music of my heart,
Harp of joy, oh cruit mo chridh*,
Moon of guidance by night,
Strength and light thou'rt to me.
