The Eriskay Love Lilt

Vair me oro van o

Vair me oro van ee

Vair me oru o ho

Sad am I without thee

When I'm lonely dear white heart

Black the night or wild the sea

By love's light my foot finds

The old pathway to thee

Vair me oro van o

Vair me oro van ee

Vair me oru o ho

Sad am I without thee

Thou'rt the music of my heart

Harp of joy oh cruit mo chridh

Moon of guidance by night

Strength and light thou'rt to me
