Land of Heart's Desire
Language: English
Land o' Heart's Desire, Isle of Youth, Dear Western Isle, Gleaming in sunlight! Land o' Heart's Desire, Isle of Youth! Far the cloudless sky Stretches blue Across the Isle, Green in the sunlight, Far the cloudless sky Stretches blue! There shall thou and I Wander free, On sheen-white sands, Dreaming in starlight. Land o' Heart's Desire, Isle of Youth.
After a traditional song from the Hebrides
