This is such a beautiful song, even though I don't speak the language. It has that magical feel to it that you only get from some songs.

Second part - great Runrig song, beautifully performed by Donnie and Karen.
I see Manais and Kintail
Kyle of Berneray and the shores of Pabbay
I see the land where I was a boy.
Then said Hugh as he came to meet me
"Won't you look at the 'Goddy' at the ToeHead
I see the land where I was a boy.
When December comes I'll leave "The Suna”
And I hope,with joy, to go home
I see the land where I was a boy.

First part:
I see the land where I was a boy
Over the mast, Lackalee is in sight.
I see the land where I was a boy.
We came from Sweden
And made good time reaching north of Scalpay,
I see the land where I was a boy.
If I were ordered, I would willingly
Lower the boat and sail home
I see the land where I was a boy.
I see the fisherman at the net
And I'd love to be there in the gloaming, fishing.
I see the land where I was a boy.
