Tha faileas air an airigh
Faileas air an airigh
Tha 'n long a-muigh 'ceann a bhaigh
Air madainn cheitean trath
Tha grian ar ciumhne ag eirigh
Grian ar ciumhne ag eirigh
A'siubhal sraidean duthaich ghalld'
Tro bailean saoghal chein
Tha 'm feasgar cuin 's na siantan blath
Tha grian 's an iar mar mheall de'n or
An cuan mar sgathan gorm gun sgleo
Is bu mhor mo mhian bhi'n Uibhist leat
Togaidh sinn ar fonn an ard
Togaidh sinn ar fonn an ard
'S ged tha mi fada bhuat
Cha dhealaich sinn a'chaoidh
Translation
There's a shadow on the sheiling
A shadow on the sheiling
The ship is waiting at the head of
The bay
Early on a May morning
The sun of our memory is rising
The sun of our memory is rising
Walking in the streets of foreign
Countries
And the cities of another era
The evening is calm and the skies
Are warm
The sun is in the West, a great ball
Of Gold
The ocean is like a mirror, blue
Without blemish
And great is my desire to be in Uist
With you
We will lift up our voices
We will lift up our voices
Although I am now so far from you
We will never part
