Текст песни Medicine gift (World) (Joanne Shenandoah) с переводом

An old man, crippled and torn

Came to us looking for bread and corn

He was unsightly and needed some care

Nobody helped him, no one dared

Wolf, turtle or bear? Who gave him food?

Who clothed his back? A bear woman was good

Little light, both day and night

Took care of the old man all day and night

Okwari, healer of Clans

Okwari, all across the land

Okwari, you gave and gave

Okwari, the lives you’ll save

Ononnkwa

Each day a new sickness befell the old man

He hold her to gather plants in her hand

To give thanks and an offering

Little lights now a healer of the Bear Clan

She gathered all people around the old man

To show them the healing, the plants in her hand

Everyone listened and wanted to know

The gift she was given and just where to go

Okwari, healer of Clans

Okwari, all across the land

Okwari, you gave and gave

Okwari, the lives you’ll save

Ononnkwa

She returned to the village, a marvelous sight

A handsome young man, filled the day with bright light

Because she gave and was kind to an old man

Because she learned, all healing began

Okwari, healer of Clans

Okwari, all across the land

Okwari, you gave and gave

Okwari, the lives you’ll save

Okwari, healer of Clans

Okwari, all across the land

Okwari, you gave and gave

Okwari, the lives you’ll save

Ononnkwa
