The ghost goes out in rags
Eyes aglow like embers
When the cold 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 ho
Beul an anamoich o hi
'S fheudar falbh le 'cuid seol
Day light up the green
I long to fill this wideness
Sirens from the deep
Sing for me, sing for me
Leis an lurgainn o hi
Leis an lurgainn o ho
Beul 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
Leis an lurgainn o hi
Leis an lurgainn o ho
Beul an anamoich o hi
'S fheudar falbh le 'cuid seol
Fill my empty chest
Fast hands gather precious
Loaded I'll return
Into Portobello
Into Portobello
Leis an lurgainn o hi
Leis an lurgainn o ho
Beul an anamoich o hi
'S fheudar falbh le 'cuid seol
