Yet still my lonely spirit soars I am MacIain
The royal stag stands proudly on the hill
Falling prey to man his mortal foe
Some men know nought of dignity or pride
And strike with no respect their deadly blow
Yet still my lonely spirit soars amid
the mountains and the glen
From my ancestral burial ground I am MacIain
The name MacDonald echoes
still within the hearts of Highland men
My restless soul will never sleep I am MacIain
The east is flanked by Buachaile Etive Mor
At south the highest Bidian is here
Of treachery no warning will they give
But from the Signal Rock betrayal sounded clear
Yet still my lonely spirit soars amid
the mountains and the glen
From my ancestral burial ground I am MacIain
The name MacDonald echoes
still within the hearts of Highland men
My restless soul will never sleep I am MacIain
Yet still my lonely spirit soars amid
the mountains and the glen
From my ancestral burial ground I am MacIain
The name MacDonald echoes
still within the hearts of Highland men
My restless soul will never sleep I am MacIain
My restless soul will never sleep
I am MacIain I am MacIain
