Farewell to Fiunary

from Landless EP by Landless

/

about

Scottish traditional song, learned from the singing of Derek Williamson. Lyrics by Norman MacLeod (1783 – 1862).

lyrics

The wind is fair, the day is fine
And swiftly, swiftly goes the time;
A boat is waiting on the tide
To waft me far from Fiunary

(Chorus)
We must up and haste away,
We must up and haste away,
We must up and haste away,
Farewell, farewell to Fiunary.

A thousand, thousand tender ties,
Wake within my mournful sighs;
My heart within me almost dies
At thoughts of leaving Fiunary.

As I leave these happy vales,
See, they spread their flapping sails.
Adieu, adieu my native dales,
Farewell, farewell to Fiunary.
