| Faili, faili, faili o ro | Faili, faili, faili o ro |

| 'S cian nan cian bho dh'fhag mi Leodhas | It is a time of long times since I left Lewis |
| 'S fhada leam an oidhche gheamhraidh | I feel the winter night long |
| 'S fhada 's fhada 's fhada leam i | Long, long, long it is |
| 'S nach fhaic mi ach preiridh lom ann | I can see nothing but a bare prairie there |
| 'S cha chluinn tonn ri tigh'nn gu traigh ann | And I can't hear a wave coming to the shore |
| 'N am do'n fheasgar a bhi ciaradh | In the evening time when it's getting dark |
| 'S tric a bhios mo spiorad cianail | Often the spirit will be full of longing |
| Smaoineachadh g' el cian nan cian uam | Thinking that there is a long, long distance |
| Far 'm bu mhiann leam dhol a cheilidh | From where I would like to be ceilidhing |
