Amazing that you imagine being at sea. This song was composed by a Harris-man who was sailing down the Minch on a merchant ship and seeing his homeland. "Chi mi Manish is Ceann an t-Saille" I was born in Ceann an t-Saile!
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.
Written by John McCuish as he passed Harrris going by in a RN ship.

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.

I can imagine myself on a sailing boat when I listen to the rhythm of this lovely song.

I see Manais and Kintail
Kyle of Berneray and the shores of Pabbay
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.
