Summary
A song in praise of Barra. The bard says that he is sad that he left the island and that he will be lamenting forever that he left by his own choosing. He goes on to praise the bay area and says that the people are unpretentious and not proud. Strangers will always be fed there as well. He then praises the west side of the island and says that he often remembers his youth.
