You think I’m an ignorant savage
And you’ve been to so many places
I guess it must be so
But still I cannot see if the savage one is me
How can there be so much that you don’t know?
You don’t know
You think you own whatever land you land on
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew, you never knew
- tant d’endroits
- j’imagine que cela doit être le cas
- mais cependant
- tant
- que vous possédez toute terre sur
laquelle vous atterrissez (mettre le pied)
- que vous pouvez vous approprier/prendre
- qui vous ressemblent et pensent comme vous
- si vous marchez dans les pas d’un étranger
Have you ever heard the wolf cry
to the blue corn moon?
- Avez-vous déjà entendu le loup crier
- à la 2ème pleine lune du mois
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
- Le lynx souriant
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
- courrir dans les chemins cachés des forêts de pins
- goûter aux baies sucrées par le soleil
- jouir de (“rouler”) dans toutes les richesses tout
autour de vous
And for once,
never wonder what they're worth
- pour une fois
- ne vous posez jamais la question de combien elles
valent
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other,
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
- un cerceau
How high does the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down, then you'll never know
- jusqu’à quelle hauteur / platane
- l’abattez
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper-skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
Need to paint with all the colors of the wind
- la loutre
- car que nous soyons / de couleur de peau cuivre
(bronzée)
page 2/3
You can own the earth and still
All you'll own is earth
until you can paint with all the colors of the wind
- posséder / et pourtant
-vous ne posséderez que de la terre
