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 no 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 mhor At south the highest bidian is here Of treachery no warning will they give But from 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
