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.
