[Singing in Lakotan]
Soon I will be here no more
You’ll hear the 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
[Singing in Lakotan]
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
[Poem in Lakotan:]
Hanhepi iyuha mi ihanbla ohinni yelo
Òn sunkmanitutankapi hena,
sunkawakanpi watogha hena,
oblaye t’ankapi oihankesni hena
T’at’epi kin asni kiyasni he
akatanhanpi iwankal
Oblaye t’anka kin
osicesni mitakuyepi òn
Makoce kin wakan
Wakan Tanka kin òn
Miwicala ohinni – Hanhepi iyuha
kici – Anpetu iyuha kici yelo
Mi yececa hehaka kin yelo, na
ni yececa sunkmanitutankapi
kin ka mikaga wowasaka isom
Uncinpi tuweni nitaku keyas ta k’u
Unwakupi e’cela e wiconi
wanji unmakainapi ta yelo
Anpetu waste e wan olowan
le talowan winyan ta yelo
Unwanagi pi lel e nita it’okab o’ta ye
Untapi it’okab o’ta
Na e kte ena òn hanska ohakap
ni itansni a’u nita ni ihanke yelo
