Lyrics

Intro
Instrumental fiddle reel motif, pipes drone
Verse 1

In the glen where the old oaks stand tall, Whispers of wind through the mist softly call. A traveler's path by the river's swift flow, Carries the heart where the wild heather grows.

Chorus

Oh, raise the tune, let the fiddle sing high, Through the emerald fields 'neath the endless sky. With pipes and with drum, we remember our kin, In the dance of the reel, our spirits begin.

Verse 2

From the cliffs where the sea crashes wild and free, Echoes of songs from the old banshee. We weave through the night with the stars as our guide, In the rhythm of roots, our ancestors abide.

Chorus

Oh, raise the tune, let the fiddle sing high, Through the emerald fields 'neath the endless sky. With pipes and with drum, we remember our kin, In the dance of the reel, our spirits begin.

Bridge
Instrumental pipe solo with harp fills

Éirinn go brách

go brách

, Forever we stand

we stand

.

Chorus

Oh, raise the tune, let the fiddle sing high, Through the emerald fields 'neath the endless sky. With pipes and with drum, we remember our kin, In the dance of the reel, our spirits begin.

Outro

Fade with the dawn

with the dawn

, Carry the song on the breeze,

Fare thee well, echoes linger
Instrumental fade out with layered whistles
