Текст песни
Come doon tae the hilltop when the sun gangs low
Whaur the auld folk kenned tae set the fires aglow
Twa flames on the heather, twa gates made o' licht
Walk atween them, bairn, afore the fall o' nicht
Atween the fires, atween the fires
Whaur the auld world ends and the new begins
Atween the fires, atween the fires
Walk through and leave yer shadows thin
The rowan's burnin bonnie but the ash burns bricht
And the Seelie Court is watchin frae the ither side o' licht
They ken wha's crossed afore us, they ken wha'll cross again
The fire disnae judge ye — it jist wants tae ken yer name
Atween the fires, atween the fires
Whaur the auld world ends and the new begins
Atween the fires, atween the fires
Walk through and leave yer shadows thin
We crossed a threshold ance — nae fire but wind
The storm took us, the Otherworld kept us in
Ten years atween, ten years the flame burned low
Now Beltane calls us hame — we walk the fires slow
Sae light the twin fires on the brae the nicht
Let the cattle pass and let the bairns tak flicht
We are the ones wha walked the lang way roon
And every Beltane eve we lay oor burdens doon
Atween the fires, atween the fires
Whaur the auld world ends and the new begins
Atween the fires, atween the fires
Walk through and leave yer shadows thin
