Lyrics:

The air is clear, the day is fine
And swiftly, swiftly flows the time
The boat is floating on the tide
That wafts me off from Fiunary

Chorus:
We must up and haste away
We must up and haste away
We must up and haste away
Farewell, farewell tae Fiunary

A thousand, thousand tender ties
Awake this day my plaintive sighs
My heart within me almost dies
At thocht of leaving Fiunary

(Chorus)

But I must leave those happy vales
See how they fill the spreading sails
Adieu, adieu, my native dales
Farewell, farewell tae Fiunary

(Chorus 2x)
