מילים לשיר Lakota – Joni Mitchell

I am Lakota!
Lakota!
Looking at money manDiggin' the deadly quotasOut of balanceOut of hand
We want the land!
Lay down the reeking ore!
Don't you hear the shrieking in the trees?
Everywhere you touch the earthEvery time you skin her all things weep
Your money mocks usRestitutionKennelled in metered boxes
Red dogs in debt to you I am Lakota!
Lakota!
Fighting among ourselves
All we can say with one whole heart
No we'll never sell
Is we won't sellWe want the land!
The lonely coyote calls
In the woodlandsIn the courtroomsIn the barroomsYou think we're sleepingQuietly like rattlesnakes and stars
We have seen the trampled rainbows In the smoke of cars
I am Lakota
Brave
Sun pity me
I am Lakota
Broken
Moon pity me
Grave
I am Lakota
Shadows stretching
Lakota
Oh pity me
I am Lakota
Weak
Grass pity me
I am Lakota
Faithful
Rocks pity me
I am Lakota
Standing water
Meek
Lakota
Oh pity me
Lakota! I am Lakota!
Standing on sacred land
We never sold these Black Hills
To the missileTo the power plants
The bullet and the fenceWe want the land!
The black coats and the boozeNothing left to lose
Courts that circumventTell me grandfather
Do you hear the whimpering waters
You spoke the fur and feather tonguesWhen the tractors come? Repeat Sun pity me Mother earth
Mother
Moon pity me
Father sky
Father
Shadows
Mother earth
Stretching on the forest floor
Oh pity me
Father sky
Father
Mother
Grass pity me
Mother earth
Father sky
Rocks pity me
Father
Water
Standing in a wakan manner
Mother earth
Oh pity me.
