lyrics

Kill the Indian /Yidaniluga aniyvwiya
Save the man /Yidanisdela yvwi
They said in Jesus' name /Tsisa dudosdvi unvdvnv
You children are wild /Itsiyotli itsehyatahi
We are here to save you /Otsilugi itsasdeldii
If we can /Yelii yinotsadvneha
If you do not discipline your children Nitnvsdadenelana detsadatina
They will be wild /Anehyatahi yigi
And so our braids were cut /Dogisdoyehvi
They shamed us /Gogadehotanvi
They cleaned our mouths /Tsotsiholi doginvgalvela
They hit us, they defiled us /Dogilvnilv uyo nigogvnela

How will you get to heaven /Atogvnai yiwitsilugi tsosv
Staring at the sun /itsagtosdvi nvda iga ehi
You children are wild, they said /Itsiyotli itsehyatahi unvdvnv’i

We will take your language /Otsagisi yitsiwonihisdii
You will be taught the Bible /Yitsvyeyohvga gohweli uhageda

We went to a hidden place /Ogvsgatle vhna ogedasdi
A sacred space, a secret /Wogilvkdv udelvi
We were in the mulberry trees /Kuwa detlukv otsedohvi
Here, the leaves rustle /Ahani tsugaloga dusgwanoyvgoi

They said to us: "do not forget your names /Goginosehoi tlesdi tsidotsvkewisv detsadovi
Do not forget who you are /Tsitsvkewisv getsotlisdii
Do not be ashamed." /Tlesdi yitsadehosgesdi

We find our way in darkness /Otsiwatisgoi ogedasdi ulsigvi
We whisper the words of our ancestors /Otsatonvihoi tsogigayvligei uniwonihisdi

The day shines /Iga ultisdvi
We pretend to be happy /Osda ogiyelvsvi ogatselvsoi
We give up the hunt /Dogiyosvi otsinohalidohvi
We bake new bread /Ogidii itse gadu
We still sing among the mulberry trees /Kuwa detlugv nai asi dotsinogisgoi
