Hurlers March
Hurling Glory: A Spirited Battle Unfolds on the Field
Lyrics
Hurlers go a marchin' out upon the field
Hurlers prepare to enter the playing field
Hurlers' banners flying
Banners representing the hurling teams are waving
Floating in the breeze
The banners are floating in the air
See them stepping gaily
Players are stepping cheerfully
Quickly clear the way
Clear the way for the impending sports challenge
For the sporting challenge will
The hurling match is about to start
Soon be underway
The game will commence soon
Apples, pears and chocolates
Mentions various items associated with the day, possibly snacks
Colours of the day
Refers to the colors associated with the teams
Tickets touts and tricksters
Tickets sellers and deceptive individuals line the way
Lining all the way
People involved in opportunistic activities along the route
Fiddlers on the sidewalks
Fiddlers playing music on the sidewalks
Hurlers in the ditch
Hurling enthusiasts on the sidelines
Know the game far better than
Spectators off the pitch understand the game better than players
Players on the pitch
Players on the field
The rival crowd is cheering, game is underway
The opposing crowd is cheering as the game starts
Each side now is hoping their
Both teams hope to win
Team wins the day
The sound of the ash (hurling stick) clashing and the crowd roaring
Hear the ash a-clashing, hear the mighty roar
Excitement and tension as each team aims to score
Puller and excitement as each team will score
Apples, pears and chocolates
Repetition of items associated with the day
Colours of the day
Repetition of team colors
Tickets touts and tricksters
Repetition of deceptive individuals along the route
Lining all the way
Repetition of fiddlers on the sidewalks
Fiddlers on the sidewalks
Repetition of hurling enthusiasts on the sidelines
Hurlers in the ditch
Repetition of spectators off the pitch understanding the game better
Know the game far better than
Repetition of players on the field
Players on the pitch
Then there's celebrations for
Celebrations for the winning team
The winning side
The victorious side's festivities and whatever may happen
For their celebrations, what there may betide
Lift a glass to toast the ancient sport of hurling
So lift up your glasses, boys
Celebrating the favorite game
We'll drink a toast
Proposing a toast to hurling
The ancient sport of hurling
The traditional and beloved sport of hurling
The game we like the most
The game they appreciate the most
