| The tune is also known as When I'm Lonely Dear White Heart and is one of the Songs of the Hebrides. |
Vair me o, ro van o Vair me o ro ven ee, Vair me o ru o ho Sad I am 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 thee. Vair me o, ro van o Vair me o ro ven ee, Vair me o ru o ho Sad I am without thee. Thou'rt the music of my heart, Harp of joy, o cuit mo chridh, Moon of guidance by night, Strength and light thou'rt to me. Vair me o, ro van o Vair me o ro ven ee, Vair me o ru o ho Sad I am without thee. |
