Chorus: Come, let's wander hand in hand, Come, let's wander hand in hand, Come, let's wander hand in hand, And take a trip to Uist with me The evening's calm, the weather warm, The western sun is an orb of gold, The sea is a mirror, clear and blue, I long to be in Uist with you Chorus There's peace across the moors and glens And sweetly smell the heather bens Fair are the flowers, bright their hue I long to be in Uist with you Chorus The birds are singing on the tops of the branches And the bees gathering honey for themselves The sheep are playing - running and jumping Great is my wish to be in Uist with you Chorus The sky is blue without a trace of cloud The streams murmering down from the mountains The grey cuckoo sings coo-koo And great my wish to be in Uist with you Chorus The cattle are lowing in the pen The dairymaid and her bucket in hand Singing her song and herding cows And great my wish to be in Uist with you Chorus Great my wish to be there this time And my mind far from the land of the Gall Hearing stories, songs, and poems Great my wish to be in Uist with you Chorus The harvest of the machair are full of food Salmon in ponds and ducks on the wing Fish plenty in the Western Sea Great my wish to be in Uist with you Chorus How can we be such silly fools To roam the world in search of fame? There's health and wealth in the isle I love And I shall stay in Uist with you
Lovely
It is great. Wish I could find what it means.
Chorus:
Come, let's wander hand in hand,
Come, let's wander hand in hand,
Come, let's wander hand in hand,
And take a trip to Uist with me
The evening's calm, the weather warm,
The western sun is an orb of gold,
The sea is a mirror, clear and blue,
I long to be in Uist with you
Chorus
There's peace across the moors and glens
And sweetly smell the heather bens
Fair are the flowers, bright their hue
I long to be in Uist with you
Chorus
The birds are singing on the tops of the branches
And the bees gathering honey for themselves
The sheep are playing - running and jumping
Great is my wish to be in Uist with you
Chorus
The sky is blue without a trace of cloud
The streams murmering down from the mountains
The grey cuckoo sings coo-koo
And great my wish to be in Uist with you
Chorus
The cattle are lowing in the pen
The dairymaid and her bucket in hand
Singing her song and herding cows
And great my wish to be in Uist with you
Chorus
Great my wish to be there this time
And my mind far from the land of the Gall
Hearing stories, songs, and poems
Great my wish to be in Uist with you
Chorus
The harvest of the machair are full of food
Salmon in ponds and ducks on the wing
Fish plenty in the Western Sea
Great my wish to be in Uist with you
Chorus
How can we be such silly fools
To roam the world in search of fame?
There's health and wealth in the isle I love
And I shall stay in Uist with you
Pa pereo
