[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 ghrĂ idh

We're going, we're going

Back on the stamping ground

We're going again

Again and again and again
