[Lyric] Fear a Bhata (Gordon Bok)

[Chorus]
Fhir a' bhàta, na hóro eile
Fhir a' bhàta, na hóro eile
Fhir a' bhàta, na hóro eile
Mo shoraidh slàn leat 's gach àit' an téid thu

[Verse 1]
Forever haunting the highest hilltop
I scan the ocean, thy sails to see
Will 't come tonight, love, will 't come tomorrow
Will 't ever come love, to comfort me?

[Chorus]
Fhir a' bhàta, na hóro eile
Fhir a' bhàta, na hóro eile
Fhir a' bhàta, na hóro eile
Mo shoraidh slàn leat 's gach àit' an téid thu

[Verse 2]
They call you fickle, they call you false one
They seek to change me, but all in vain
For thou art with me throughout the dark night
And every morning I watch the main
[Chorus]
Fhir a' bhàta, na hóro eilе
Fhir a' bhàta, na hóro eile
Fhir a' bhàta, na hóro eilе
Mo shoraidh slàn leat 's gach àit' an téid thu

[Verse 3]
There's not a hamlet but well I know it
Where you go walking or stay awhile
And all the old folk you win with talking
And charm its maidens with song and smile

[Chorus]
Fhir a' bhàta, na hóro eile
Fhir a' bhàta, na hóro eile
Fhir a' bhàta, na hóro eile
Mo shoraidh slàn leat 's gach àit' an téid thu

[Verse 4]
From passing boatmen I would discover
If they had heard of or seen my Lover
I'm never answered; I'm only chided
And told my heart has been sore misguided

[Chorus]
Fhir a' bhàta, na hóro eile
Fhir a' bhàta, na hóro eile
Fhir a' bhàta, na hóro eile
Mo shoraidh slàn leat 's gach àit' an téid thu
[Chorus/Outro]
Fhir a' bhàta, na hóro eile
Fhir a' bhàta, na hóro eile
Fhir a' bhàta, na hóro eile
O' fare ye well love, where e'er ye be
