Far Am Bi Mi Fhìn

Sèist
Far am bi mi fhìn is ann a bhios mo dhòchas
Far am bi mi fhìn is ann a bhios mo dhòchas
Far am bi mi fhìn is ann a bhios mo dhòchas
Far am bi mi fhìn bidh mo dhòchas ann

Théid mi fhìn is Sìne null gu taigh a' phìobair
Théid mi fhìn is Sìne null gu taigh a' phìobair
Théid mi fhìn is Sìne null gu taigh a' phìobair
'S nì sinn brod an ruidhle leinn fhìn air an làr


Sèist

'S mur toir am pìobair port dhuinn airson ruidhle
'S mur toir am pìobair port dhuinn airson ruidhle
'S mur toir am pìobair port dhuinn airson ruidhle
'S ann a bheir sinn sgrìob chun an fhìdhlear bhàn

Sèist

Siubhal air na cladaichean 's a' coiseachd air a' ghainmhich
Siubhal air na cladaichean 's a' coiseachd air a' ghainmhich
Siubhal air na cladaichean 's a' coiseachd air a' ghainmhich
Far am bi mi fhìn bidh mo dhòchas ann

Where I will be

Chorus
Where I will be is where my hope lies
Where I will be is where my hope lies
Where I will be is where my hope lies
Where I will be my hope lies

Sheena and I will go to the piper's house
Sheena and I will go to the piper's house
Sheena and I will go to the piper's house
and we will dance a choice reel by ourselves on the floor

Chorus

And if the piper doesn't play us a tune for the reel
And if the piper doesn't play us a tune for the reel
And if the piper doesn't play us a tune for the reel
we'll head off to see the fair fiddler

Chorus

Travelling the shores and walking on the sand
Travelling the shores and walking on the sand
Travelling the shores and walking on the sand
where I will be my hope lies

Nuair a bha mi ann an Ile          When I was in Islay
Bha Catriona cuide rium             Catriona was with me
Nuair a bha mi ann an Ile          When I was in Islay
Bha Catriona lamh rium             Catriona was by my side
Nuair a bha mi ann an Ile          When I was in Islay
Bha Catriona cuide rium             Catriona was with me
Nuair a bha mi ann an Ile          When I was in Islay
Bha Catriona lamh rium             Catriona was by my side
