[Rann 1] Tha an talamh a’ cuimhneachadh romhainn, fo ar casan, fo ar cnàmhan. Cha ghluais sinn air adhart, ach timcheallaidh sinn a-rithist. [Rann 2] B’ e seo an ceum a ghabh iad roimhe, ’s gabhaidh sinn e gun cheist. Chan eil toiseach air an lùb, chan eil crìoch air an rathad. [Rann 3] Tha an cuimhne trom mar chreig fhliuch, a’ brùthadh sìos gun fhuaim. Chan iarr i guth, chan iarr i solas. [Rann 4] Cuir do chas far an do chuir iad an cas, na tog i nas àirde. ’S ann san lùb a tha an slànachadh, chan ann san teicheadh. [Ath-aithris Ìosal] Lùb uaine. Ceum uaine. Cuimhne gun ghluasad. --- English literal translation (for reference only) [Verse 1] The earth remembers before us, beneath our feet, beneath our bones. We do not move forward, but we circle again. [Verse 2] This was the step they took before, and we will take it without question. There is no beginning to the spiral, there is no end to the path. [Verse 3] Memory is heavy like wet stone, pressing downward without sound. It does not ask for a voice, it does not ask for light. [Verse 4] Place your foot where they placed their foot, do not lift it higher. Healing is in the spiral, not in escape. [Low Repetition] Green spiral. Green step. Memory without movement.
