Faili faili faili o ro 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
