Bitter Tears: Ballads of the American Indian
Originaltext
Översättning
Drums
From the Indian reservation to the governmental school
Well they're goin' to educate me
To the white men's Golden Rule
And I'm learning very quickly for I've learned to be ashamed
And I come when they call Billy
Though I've got an Indian name
And there are drums beyond the mountain Indian drums
That you can't hear
There are drums beyond the mountain
And they're getting mighty near
And when they think that they'd changed me
Cut my hair to meet their needs
Will they think I'm white or Indian quarter blood
Or just half breed
Let me tell you Mr. teacher
When you say you'll make me right
In five hundred years of fighting
Not one Indian turned white
And there are drums...
Well you thought that I knew nothing
When you brought me here to school
Just another empty Indian just America's first fool
But now I can tell you stories
That are burnt and dried and old
But in the shadow of their telling walks the thunder proud and bold
And there are drums...
Long Pine and Sequoia Handsome Lake and Sitting Bull
There's Magnus Colorado with his sleeves so red and full
Crazy Horse the legend those who bit off Custer's soul
They are dead yet they are living with the great Geronimo
And there are drums...
Well you may teach me this land's history
But we taught it to you first
We broke your hearts and bent your journeys
Broken treaties left us cursed
Even now you have to cheat us
Even though you think us tame
In our losing we found proudness in your winning you found shame
And there are drums...
Bubnjevi
Od indijanskog rezervata do javne škole
E oni će me poučiti o Zlatnom pravilu bijelog čovjeka
I ja učim prilično brzo jer sam se naučio sramiti
I ja se javljam kada pozovu "Billy" iako nosim indijansko ime
I bubnjevi su tamo iznad planina, bubnjevi koje ne možeš čuti
Bubnjevi su iznad planina i dolaze sve bliže i bliže
I kad pomisle da su me promijenili, režu mi kosu da bude u skladu s njihovim potrebama
Hoće li misliti da sam bijelac ili četvrt indijanac ili samo polutan
Samo me poslušaj gospodine učitelju kad mi kažeš da ćeš me ispraviti
U petsto godina borbe ni jedan indijanac nije postao bijel
I tamo su bubnjevi...
E ti si mislio da nisam ništa znao kad si me doveo ovdje u školu
Samo jedan prazan Indijanac, samo prva budala Amerike
Ali sad ti mogu ispričati priče koje su sagorjele i sasušene i stare
Al u sjeni njihovih riječi hoda grom ponosit i hrabar
I tamo su bubnjevi...
Dugi Bor, Lijepa Sekvoja od Jezera i Bik Koji Sjedi
Tamo je i Veli Colorado sa rukavima crvenim i punim
Ludi Konj, legenda koja je odgrizla Casterovu dušu
Mrtvi su, no ipak dišu sa veličanstvenim Geronimom
I tamo su bubnjevi...
E ti me možeš naučiti povijest ove zemlje, no mi smo je prvi ispričali tebi
Slomili smo vaša srca i prekrojili vaše pute, prekršena zatišja su nas ostavila prokletima
I sad nas morate varati iako to sad činite pitomo
I svom porazu pronašli smo poraz, u svojoj pobjedi vi ste pronašli svoj sram
I tamo su bubnjevi...
