| Tha iad ann clann Nill a Barraidh | It is them, the MacNeils of Barra |
| Gu de ghaoil a th'air un n'aire? | What, my dears, is on your minds? |
| Ag iarraidh gu farsuingeachd fearainn | Looking to extend our lands |
| A righ nam bithinn-sa 'roinn an fhearainn | If I were distributing land |
| Bu leibh Rum is Eige is Canaidh | You would have Rum, Eigg and Canna |
| Eilean na Muc fo'r cuid ghearran | The Isle of Muck for all your horses |
| Colbhasaidh fo'r caoraich gheala | Colonsay for your white sheep |
| Uibhist Mhor gu deanamh arain | Great Uist where you could make bread |
