When the summer day is over
Its busy cares have flown
I will sit beneath the starlight
With a weary heart alone
Then it rises like a vision
Sparkling bright it shines for me
My own dear, Ellan Vannin
With it's green hills by the sea
Let me hear the ocean murmur
Let me watch your stormy sky
Then above the emerald waters
Sing the seagull as she fli
And in all my times of sorrows
And onsome lonely shore
I'll go back to Ellan Vannin
To my childhood days once more
Its busy cares have flown
I will sit beneath the starlight
With a weary heart alone
Then it rises like a vision
Sparkling bright it shines for me
My own dear, Ellan Vannin
With it's green hills by the sea
Let me hear the ocean murmur
Let me watch your stormy sky
Then above the emerald waters
Sing the seagull as she fli
And in all my times of sorrows
And onsome lonely shore
I'll go back to Ellan Vannin
To my childhood days once more
