Lyrics
Vair me oro van o
Vair me oro van ee
Vair me oru o ho
Sad am I without thee
When I’m lonely, dear white heart
Black the night or wild the sea
By love’s light my foot finds
The old pathway to thee
Vair me oro van o
Vair me oro van ee
Vair me oru o ho
Sad am I without thee
Thou’rt the music of my heart
Harp of joy, oh fruit mo chridh
Moon of guidance by night
Strength and light thou’rt to me
Vair me oro van o
Vair me oro van ee
Vair me oru o ho
Sad am I without thee
