An Eriskay Love Lilt

Bheir me o, horo van o

Bheir me o, horo van ee

Bheir me o, o hooro ho

Sad am I, without thee

When I'm lonely, dear white heart

Black the night and wild the sea

By love's light, my foot finds

The old pathway to me

Bheir me o, horo van o

Bheir me o, horo van ee

Bheir me o, o hooro ho

Sad am I, without thee

Thou'rt the music of my heart

Harp of joy, o cruit mo chruidh

Moon of guidance by night

Strength and light thou'rt to me

Bheir me o, horo van o

Bheir me o, horo van ee

Bheir me o, o hooro ho

Sad am I, without thee

Bheir me o...

Bheir me o...

Bheir me o...
