Once upon a time the American Indians On their ground and in the sky In their mind - fire - fire Fire of life - life Other paler men came on this ground With their guns, with their power In their mind, fire was there But fire of death
Always, always believe in the eagles In front of the sun they will appear Always, always, believe in your power For your right, for your children and for you
A short while ago, the Indians shot In the plains and in mountains They had the strength of the bear The pride of the wolf - wolf Today the bad race has been driven In the reserves without soul But in their heart the spirit of death Is stronger than the weapons
Always, always believe in the eagles In front of the sun they will appear Always, always, believe in your power For your right, for your children and for you
Give me the hope for next centuries Say to me tomorrow you still exist Cry your joy in the great lakes, The rivers, the forest, and in the fire Give me the hope for your children Who see you going away weeping You can go away but don't die 'cause you fly
