Air Falalalo
Lyrics
Air falalalo, horo, air falalalay, Air falalalo, horo, air falalalay,
Air falalalo, horo, air falalalay, Falee falo, horo, air falalalay,
Verse 1
There’s lilt in the song I sing, there’s laughter and love.
There’s tang of the sea, and blue from heaven above.
Of reason there’s none, and why should there be, for bye
With the fire in the blood and toes, the light in the eye.
Chorus
Air falalalo, horo, air falalalay, Air falalalo, horo, air falalalay,
Air falalalo, horo, air falalalay, Falee falo, horo, air falalalay,
Verse 2
There’s heather ablaze wi’ bloom, the myrtle is sweet,
There’s song in the air, the road’s a song at our feet.
So step it along as light as the bird on the wing,
And stepping along, let’s join our voices and sing.
Chorus
Air falalalo, horo, air falalalay, Air falalalo, horo, air falalalay,
Air falalalo, horo, air falalalay, Falee falo, horo, air falalalay,
Verse 3
And whether the blood be highland, lowland or no’
And whether the hue be white, or black as the sloe.
Of kith and of kin, we’re one, be it right, be it wrong,
If only our hearts beat true to the lilt of the song.
Chorus
Air falalalo, horo, air falalalay, Air falalalo, horo, air falalalay,
Air falalalo, horo, air falalalay, Falee falo, horo, air falalalay
