April  comes to the new grass on  the hills of gold
Tha  feur ur air bar  an tallamh, bar  an tallamh, horribh  o
 Where winter  falls in the long  cold north
 Black waters  wait in the Ice  and snow
Tha  feur ur air bar  an tallamh, bar  an tallamh, horribh  o
 Black waters  wait in the Ice  and sun
 Through the glens  where your great rivers run
 Back on the stamping ground
 to where it all  began
 Back on the stamping ground
 We come  again

 So we tend and we nurtur all the seeds we've sown
 Tha feur ur air bar an tallamh, bar an tallamh, horribh o
 Through all the frosts and rains the west winds blow
 till the fields turn ripe and a harvest stored
 Tha feur ur air bar an tallamh, bar an tallamh, horribh o
 Through all the frosts and rains the west winds blow
 We will wait here till the winter's end
 Back on the stamping ground
 to where it all began
 Back on the stamping ground
 We come again
 So it's blood on blood, our bond, our word
 Tha feur ur air bar an tallamh, bar an tallamh, horribh o
 For the strength and weakness of our days
 is to take you there on a journey shared
 Tha feur ur air bar an tallamh, bar an tallamh, horribh o
 So take this ring, make it sparkle and glow
 it's much greater than we may ever know
 Back on the stamping ground
 to where it all began
 Back on the stamping ground
 We come again
