| Song lyrics |
Mitakuye oyasin lel ohinni e yelo
(All of my people are all still here)
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 been 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
ENGLISH 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

I don't think it's that bad. True, I don't appreciate the Indian guy too much, but the symphony is great. | 24-05-2005 12:58 leftwinger |  4 posts

I don't know what you guys here are talking about. I know this song is unbelivably gripping (if it's ok to say so about a song). Especially when the choir comes along somewhere in the middle... Love it. | 24-05-2005 20:17 Libertina |  304 posts

It's quite different from other Nightwish songs, but however it's in my personal top5 of Nightwish songs. It's not really American style, it's just a song with beautiful lyrics, beautiful music and Tarja's beautiful voice. It really takes me to higher places. | 25-12-2005 18:06 beckyl |  128 posts
| I'm not so sure about the poem at the end, it goes on way too long. >.
Yeah the song is good at the beginning though... | 25-03-2006 14:59 swmmng |  120 posts
| Does anyone know where one can get a translation of the Lakotan lyrics and poem? I think that might be an important thing. | 25-03-2006 15:55 Dropkicked |

This song just makes me wanna bowe in front of Tuomas. The parts where John Two-Hawks is talking can get little boring, when you listen this many times, but nevertheless a brilliant song.  | 15-11-2006 11:56 Tuuliainen |  1 posts

The message of the song is stunning. I love it. I love the whole song... I think it's the best one in this album.
Btw, I have never read that poem in the end in english before. It makes the song even better now when I know what it means! | 13-02-2007 20:08 Scimitarmoon |  55 posts

One of Nightwish's great epics.
The poem at the end is beautiful and haunting, and generally, its a touching, beautiful song.
it seems to be unpopular on the NW board, but i can't see why. it's pretty much of the same standard as Dark chest of wonders and higher than hope. | 04-05-2008 16:55 Stc139 |  7 posts
