Lyrics
When the entire life of a man is passed close to
The breast of the island sea, he comes to depend
On her as a young boy does with his mother
And even when she's angry with him, soon he knows she will
Laugh again in the sunlight and he loves her all the more
Sore sea longing in my heart
Blue deep Barra waves are calling
Sore sea longing in my heart
Glides the sun but, ah, how slowly far away to luring seas
Sore sea longing in my heart
Blue deep Barra waves are calling sore sea longing in my heart
Here's to sun the roll of waters breaking, calling by yon isle
Sore sea longing in my heart
Blue deep Barra waves are calling, sore sea longing in my heart
Sun on high here falls the gloaming
Heart to heart thou greet yon waves
Mary, mother how I yearn
Blue deep Barra waves are calling
Mary, mother how I yearn
