Taking shelter by the standing stones
Miles from all that moves
Breathing solitude, seeking confidence,
A gift to me
Feeling spirits never far removed passing over me
And I greet them with open arms
CHORUS :
Hand fighting hand
As oyu turn to a man of two worlds
Taobh ri taobh, tha sinn mar aon de dha shaoghail
[Side by side, we're like a man of two worlds]
Làmh nam làmh, gabhadh aithne air linn a dh'fhalbh
[Hand in hand, getting to know a generation that's gone]
Reading passages of ancient rhyme
Cut so deep, so old
Telling tales of travellers and mystery
Hearing spirits never far removed calling out aloud
When the time comes they'll talk to me
CHORUS
Hand fighting hand
As you turn to a man of two worlds
Feel the presence moving into me
Painting pictures with its words
Oh, seeing places that I've never seen
Like a door thrown open
On a life I've lived before
CHORUS
(part) :
Taobh ri taobh
[Side by side]
Do làmh nam làimh
[Your hand in my hand]
Tha sinn mar aon
[We are like one man]
De dha shaoghail
[From two worlds]
CHORUS
(part)
