Goosebumps! We’re loving this wonderful performance of Eriskay Love Lilt, a plaintive tune originating on a small island off the coast of South Uist in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland.

Lyrics

Chorus:
Bheir me o, horo van o
Bheir me o, horo van ee
Bheir me o, o horo 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.

Chorus

In the morning, when I go
To the white and shining sea,
In the calling of the seals
Thy soft calling to me.

Chorus

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.

Chorus
