Chi Mi'n Tir
I See the Land
Chi mi'n tir 'san robh mi'nam bhalach
'M barr a'chruinn 's Leac a' Li nam shealladh
Chi mi'n tir 'san robh mi'nam bhalach
A tir nan Suaineach a rinn sinn gluasad
'S i leinn an uair tighinn tuath air Scalpaigh
Chi mi'n tir 'san robh mi'nam bhalach
Chi me Manais is Ceann an tSaile
Caolas Bhearnaraidh is traighean Phabaidh
Chi mi'n tir 'san robh mi'nam bhalach
'M barr a'chruinn 's Leac a' Li nam shealladh
Chi mi'n tir 'san robh mi'nam bhalach
Chi mi'n iasgair aig ceann nan lion
Is gu'm b'e mo mhiann bhith 'sa chiar 'gan tarruing
Chi mi'n tir 'san robh mi'nam bhalach
Nam faighinn ordugh gur mi bhiodh deonach
A gheola "loradh" 's a seoladh dhachaidh
Chi mi'n tir san robh mi nam bhalach
'M barr a'chruinn 's Leac a' Li nam shealladh
Chi mi'n tir 'san robh mi'nam bhalach
oOo???
I see the land where I was a boy
Over the mast, Lack alee is in sight.
I see the land where I was a boy.
We came from Sweden
And made good time reaching north of Scalpay,
I see the land where I was a boy.
I see Manais and Kintail
Kyle of Berneray and the shores of Pabbay
I see the fisherman at the net
And I'd love to be there in the gloaming, fishing.
I see the land where I was a boy.
If I were ordered, I would willingly
Lower the boat and sail home.
