The ghost goes out in rags,

Eyes aglow like embers,

When the cold wind blows,

Embers are sparkling and aflame.

Burning head I ride,

On the blackened timber,

Sink the fearful night

For this day is open, it begins

Leis an lurgainn o hi

Leis an lurgainn o hi

Ruel an anamoich o hi

'S fheudar falbh le 'cuid seol

Day light up the green,

I long to fill this wilderness

Sirens from the deep

Sing to me, sing to me.

Leis an lurgainn o hi

Leis an lurgainn o hi

Ruel an anamoich o hi

'S fheudar falbh le 'cuid seol

Above there are stars

Above there are stars

Before and beneath me

Nations of stars

Shine down on me

Fill my empty chest

Fast hands gather precious

Loaded I'll return

Into Portobello

Leis an lurgainn o hi

Leis an lurgainn o hi

Ruel an anamoich o hi

'S fheudar falbh le 'cuid seol.
