Summary
A love song and a song of homesickness. A girl mourns that she is in the strange land of Jura, far from her own kith and kin. Her beloved sailed away on a boat through the narrows. She praises him for his good looks, his curling hair and his slender eyebrows. If her dearest wish were granted, Mull, Islay, Kintyre and Arran would be his.
