Seven seas seven skies
|
Lightning strikes and brave men die
|
Tatanka great, Tatanka small
|
When darkness comes they kill them all
|
Tatanka
|
|
You take what you want but you don't ask
|
You're future doesn't lie with things of the past
|
The search for freedom will never be found
|
As long as we stand upon this sacred ground
|
|
The curse of the curses upon the land
|
One day Tatanka will make a stand
|
Take back the soul of mother nature
|
Give back the spirit of a world endangered
|
Tatanka comes, stand and deliver
|
|
The souls of the brave lie on forever
|
The tale of tears is a tale of courage
|
Tatanka comes from across the river
|
|
Chorus repeat
|
|
The battles were fought and the damage was done
|
The wars not over its just begun
|
The debt that's owed will never be payed
|
The promised land will never be saved
|
|
The curse of curses fire on the land
|
Today Tatanka has made a stand
|
Their forefathers dreams, hopes, and vision
|
Through children's eyes has it been forgiven
|
|
Chorus repeat
|
|
Le Lakota tolowan yelo
|
|
Channi tatanka oyate ki
|
icic' upi nahan taku un
|
umnipi nahan unkotipi kte k'un
|
lepa unk' upelo
|
wasicu ki ahi nahan
|
wicakasota pi tka
|
tatanka tawowakan ki lena
|
hecenanhgluhapelo
|
|
This is a song for the Lakota
|
|
Long time ago the buffalo
|
nation gave themselves
|
so we can survive and
|
have shelter
|
The white man came
|
and wiped them out
|
but we still have the spirit
|
the power of the buffalo
|
|
Tatanka comes, stand and deliver
|
The souls of the brave live forever
|
The trail of the rears is a tale of courage
|
Tatanka comes, Tatanka comes
|
