Faagail Mannin ayns 1863 Leaving Mannin in 1863
Ta mee faagail nish çheer my ghooie I am now leaving my native land
Yn Ellan veg t’ayns mean y cheayn The little Island in the middle of the sea
Harrish yn faarkey lhean dy roie To sail over the wide ocean
Veih caarjyn deyr as Mannin Veen From dear dear friends and Dear Mannin
Goll dy rouail ny lomarcan Going to wander alone
Foddey voish ooilley bynney lhiam Far from all I loved most
My yeir ta shilley sheese dy myn My tears are falling down in pieces
Agh gerjagh arragh cha vel aym But I have no more comfort
Slane eu my huyraghyn as braar So long my sisters and brother
Slane eu, slane eu, my ainjysee So long, so long, my acquantances
Slane eu, slane eu, my Voir as Ayr So long, so long my Mother and Father
Foast ta shiu faggys da my chree You are yet close to my heart
Agh ish ta slane my hee er stroie But she was has completely destroyed my peace
Nish faagit foddey er my chooyl Now left far behind me
As nish ayns siyr dy chosney voee And now in a hurry to get away from her
Ayns faasaghyn yn seihll dy hooyl To walk in the wildernesses of the world
Nish ta ny sleityn foddey jeh Now the mountains are far off
Marish dagh nhee ta deyr da’n chree With every thing that is dear to the heart
Ayns seaghyn nish dy cheau yn traa To spend the time in sorrow
As gyn ny sodjey fakin ee And not see her any longer
O Vannin veen foast ta my yier O dear Mannin my tears still
Ec smooinnaght ort roie sheese my oaie When thinking of you, run down my face
Agh ish ta geiyrt mee voish my heer But she who drives me from my country
Ta er hoiagh beg jeh slane my ghraih Who has despised all of my love
Slane ayd ven foalsey son dy braa So long false woman forever
Cha jeanyms arragh paagey oo I will not ever kiss you again
Ga dy bee’m deinagh ceau my hraa Although I will be weary spending my time
Nee’m streeu gyn smooinaght ort ny smoo I will strive not to think of you anymore.
Agh ga nagh jean mayd reesht meeiteil But although we will not meet again
Syn astyer fo yn villey mooar In the afternoon under the big tree
Ny-yeih nee ish as mish failleil Nevertheless she and I will fail
As lhie dy chadley ayns yn ooir And lie down to sleep in the soil
