Testo Lakota - Joni Mitchell
Testo della canzone Lakota (Joni Mitchell), tratta dall'album Chalk Mark In A Rain Storm
I am Lakota!
Lakota! Looking at money man
Diggin' the deadly quotas
Out of balance
Out of hand
We want the land
Lay down the reeking ore
Don't you hear the shrieking in the trees?
Everywhere you touch the earth, she's sore
Every time you skin her, all things weep
Your money mocks us
Restitution, what good can it do?
Kenneled in metered boxes
Red dogs in debt to you
I am Lakota!
Lakota! Fighting among ourselves
All we can say with one whole heart
Is we won't sell
No, we'll never sell
We want the land!
The lonely coyote calls
(In the woodlands) footprints of the deer
(In the barrooms) poor drunk bastard falls
(In the courtrooms) deaf ears 60 years
You think we're sleeping but
Quietly 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
I am Lakota
Grave
Shadows stretching
Lakota
Oh, pity me
I am Lakota
Weak
Grass pity me
I am Lakota
Faithful
Rocks pity me
I am Lakota
Meek
Standing water
Lakota
Oh, pity me
I am Lakota!
Lakota! Standing on sacred land
We never sold these Black Hills
To the missile-heads
To the power plants
We want the land!
The bullet and the fence (broke Lakota)
The black coats and the booze (broke Lakota)
Courts that circumvent (choke Lakota)
Nothing left to lose
Tell me grandfather
You spoke the fur and feather tongues
Do you hear the whimpering waters
When the tractors come?
I am Lakota
Brave
Sun pity me
I am Lakota
Broken
Moon pity me
I am Lakota
Slaves
Shadows stretching
Lakota
Oh, pity me
I am Lakota
Weak
Grass pity me
I am Lakota
Faithful
Rocks pity me
I am Lakota
Meek
Standing water
Lakota
Oh, pity me
Sun pity me
Mother earth
Mother
Moon pity me
Father sky
Father
Shadows
Stretching on the forest floor
Mother earth
Oh, pity me
Father sky
Father
Grass pity me
Mother earth
Mother
Rocks pity me
Father sky
Father
Water
Standing in a waken manner
Mother earth
Oh, pity me
Father sky
Father
Ground pity me
Mother earth
Mother
Moon pity me
Father sky
Father, shadows
Stretching on the forest floor
Mother earth
Oh, pity me
Father sky
Father
Lands pity me
Mother earth
Mother
Skies pity me
Father sky
