It was twenty years ago,
Just before the fateful day
When I had to leave my home, my family,
I set off down the Brae,
And so I came out here to the Americas,
Determined to make my stand -
But I'll tell you,
Things didn't turn out the way I'd planned,
I'm a Stranger in a Strange Land
Stranger in a Strange Land
Stranger in a Strange Land
Stranger in a Strange Land
I'm a Stranger in a Strange Land
Portuguese section....!
Stranger in a Strange Land
Yeah, I'm a Stranger in a Strange Land
Stranger in a Strange Land
I'm a Stranger in a Strange Land etc
Though I'm many, many miles from my home,
I can see the snow-capped mountains of Skye,
As a dream it all appears,
