Runrig
The Stamping Ground
[Verse 1]
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 ice and snow
Tha feur ur air bar an tallamh, bar an tallamh, horribh o
Black waters wait in ice and sun
Through the glens where your great rivers run
[Chorus]
Back on the stamping ground
To where it all began
Back on the stamping ground
We come again
[Verse 2]
So we tend and we nurture all the seeds we've sown
Tha feur ur air bar an tallamh, bar an tallamh, horribh o
Through all the frost and rains the west winds blow
'Til the fields turn ripe and a harvest stored
Tha feur ur air bar an tallamh, bar an tallamh, horribh o
Through all the frost and rains the west winds send
We will wait here till the winter's end
[Chorus]
Back on the stamping ground
To where it all began
Back on the stamping ground
We come again
[Verse 3]
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 thing, make it sparkle and glow
It's much greater than we may ever know
[Chorus]
Back on the stamping ground
To where it all began
Back on the stamping ground
We come again
Back on the stamping ground
To where it all began
Back on the stamping ground
We come again
Back on the stamping ground (Back on the stamping ground)
To where it all began (To where it all began)
Back on the stamping ground
We come again
Back on the stamping ground
To where it all began (It's blood on blood)
Back on the stamping ground (It's our bond, our word)
We come again
[Outro]
Back on the stamping ground
Back on the stamping ground
Tillidh mi dhachaidh, tillidh mi dhachaidh
Cha chaidil mi gun till mi do mo ghràidh
We're going, we're going
Back on the stamping ground
We're going again
Again and again and again
