| Soon I will be here no more
|
| You’ll hear my tale
|
| Through my blood
|
| Through my people
|
| And the eagle’s cry
|
| The bear within will never lay to rest
|
| Wandering on Horizon Road
|
| Following the trail of tears
|
| White man came
|
| Saw the blessed land
|
| We cared, you took
|
| You fought, we lost
|
| Not the war but an unfair fight
|
| Sceneries painted beautiful in blood
|
| Wandering on Horizon Road
|
| Following the trail of tears
|
| Once we were here
|
| Where we have lived since the world began
|
| Since time itself gave us this land
|
| Our souls will join again the wild
|
| Our home in peace 'n war 'n death
|
| Wandering on Horizon Road…
|
| Following the trail of tears
|
| Once we were here
|
| Where we have been since the world began
|
| Since time itself gave us this land

| «I still dream every night
|
| Of them wolves, them mustangs, those endless prairies
|
| The restless winds over mountaintops
|
| The unspoilt frontier of my kith n’kin
|
| The hallowed land of the Great Spirit
|
| I still believe
|
| In every night
|
| In every day
|
| I am like the caribou
|
| And you like the wolves that make me stronger
|
| We never owed you anything
|
| Our only debt is one life for our Mother
|
| It was a good day to chant this song
|
| For Her
|
| Our spirit was here long before you
|
| Long before us
|
| And long will it be after your pride brings you to your end" |
