It is no joy without Clan Donald,
It is no strength to be without them;
The best race in the round world;
To them belongs every goodly man
In the van of Clan Donald
Learning was commanded
And in the rear were
Service and honour and self respect,
Brilliant pillars of green Alba,
A race the hardiest that received baptism;
A race who won fight in every land,
Hawks of Islay for valour,
A race without arrogance, without injustice,
Who seized naught save spoil of war;
Whose nobles were men of spirit,
And whose common men were most steadfast,
