Lyrics :
The air is clear, the day is fine
And swiftly, swiftly flows the time
The boat is floating on the tide
That wafts me off from Fiunary
Chorus
:
We must up and haste away
We must up and haste away
We must up and haste away
Farewell, farewell tae Fiunary
A thousand, thousand tender ties
Awake this day my plaintive sighs
My heart within me almost dies
At thocht of leaving Fiunary
(Chorus)
But I must leave those happy vales
See how they fill the spreading sails
Adieu, adieu, my native dales
Farewell, farewell tae Fiunary
(Chorus 2x)
