Creek Mary's Blood


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 lived since

the world began

Since time itself gave us this land


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


"Hanhepi iyuho mi ihanbla ohinni yelo


O 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

WakanTanka 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


Uncipi 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 ihanke yelo"


Translation:

"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"
