Come dance, around the Beltaine fires
Dance, in the twilight and the dawn
Come dance, with shining stars above
And live and laugh and love
Come dance

First is the fire that leaps and twirls
Shining and crackling oh so merrily
Shooting around and up and down
Dancing to the music of the night

Come dance, around the Beltaine fires
Dance, in the twilight and the dawn
Come dance, with shining stars above
And live and laugh and love
Come dance

Second if the water that swirls and flows
Foaming amid the current fast
Weaving around and up and down
Dancing to the music of the night

Come dance, around the Beltaine fires
Dance, in the twilight and the dawn
Come dance, with shining stars above
And live and laugh and love
Come dance

Third if the air that blows and gusts
Puffing and sweeping everywhere it can
Flying around and up and down
Dancing to the music of the night

Come dance, around the Beltaine fires
Dance, in the twilight and the dawn
Come dance, with shining stars above
And live and laugh and love
Come dance

Fourth is the earth that sits and rolls
Pondering and watching everything that is
Tumbling around and up and down
Dancing to the music of the night

Come dance, around the Beltaine fires
Dance, in the twilight and the dawn
Come dance, with shining stars above
And live and laugh and love
Come dance

What are the maypole and fires for?
They celebrate life and rebirth and creation
The sacred marriage between Goddess and God
Dancing to the music of life

Come dance, around the Beltaine fires
Dance, in the twilight and the dawn
Come dance, with shining stars above
And live and laugh and love
Come dance
