Текст песни Red Jacket (Brianna Lea Pruett) с переводом

Oh Red Jacket, you were right-

Stars are in the ground

And there is dirt in the sky

Oh Red Jacket, you were right-

We call in a vision

We are your children

We have trusted like children

Like we’re meant to be

We keep love alive through suffering

What now, what now?

We demand the new song

That’s been coming on

That is coming on

What now, what now?

Rebuild the fire of the old ways

Come together a beautiful way

Those crying for a vision

Look to the ones

Who tell us how

And decide now!

Oh, Red Jacket, you were right-

There’s waste in precious grounds

And dirt in the sky

We all have a little more time

We can choose new vision

Believe in sacred fires

I call to you, respect the graves of ancient lives

Your duties are made up by ones that cry

I call to you, see through modern lies

Take a path of strength, in front of your childrens eyes

One woman (man) cannot do the work of

Ten, much less the work of ten thousand

So sisters listen to me

With hearts to hear

Pick up your part

Make your voice fearless and clear

Brothers listen to me

With hearts to hear

Pick up your part

And heal your heart of fear

Oh Red Jacket, you were right-

The precious grounds suffer

And there is dirt in the sky

Now is the time

We call in the new vision

Hear the calling of the rainbow children

If you’re crying for a vision

Look to the ones

Who tell us how and do it now!

[Note: Red Jacket, also known as Sagoyewatha «Keeper Awake» later in life,

was a Seneca orator and chief of the Wolf clan. He lived from about 1750 to

January 20, 1830 and was known for speaking for the rights of his people.

In 1794, he signed the Treaty of Canandaigua, securing some territory for the

Seneca in New York State after the American Revolutionary War, although most of

his people settled in Canada. He wore a red jacket due to his alliance with the

British during the War, and became thusly known during that period.

His most famous speech is «Religion for the White Man and the Red»

and can be read online. — K. Dorran
