Musician's or Publisher's Notes

Air Falalalo

Air falalalo horo, air falalalay

Faleefalo horo, air falalalay

There's lilt in the song I sing, there's laughter and love;

There's tang o' the sea, and blue from heaven above;

Of reason there's none, and why should there be forbye,

With the fire in the blood and toes, the light in the eye?

The heather's ablaze wi' bloom; the myrtle is sweet;

There's song in the air; the road's a song at our feet;

So step it along as light as the bird on the wing,

And, stepping along, let's join our voices and sing.

And whether the blood be Highland, or Lowland, or no';

And whether the hue be white or black as the sloe;

Of kith and of kin we're one, be it right, be it wrong,

If only our hearts beat true to the lilt o' the song.
