Grandfather asked this of me,
So I decreased the Germans
(bad mouths)
And even took his land away!
I said I would bring a black
painted face home.
I told the truth. I am bringing him
home!
LAKOTA BOY, you went
overseas so many
are crying there now!
You have done those things!
I was going to do this anyway,
so I told Grandfather to announce
this.
It seems, however, that he did
not announce
it... hey!
Aim (your weapon)! (REPEATED)
You live only for a short while!
You lay there humiliated!
A German dresses his wife in
elegance;
I bury him in ragged clothes!
A long knife German has fallen.
Also, a
Lakota Dog (Soldier) has fallen down.
German! You must consider me a
relative,
You are finally waving at me!
Where Long Hair lays is not
shown, so
Crying you looked for him! He is
laying here!
I knocked an airplane forward! It
went down!
Mother come outside! Mother
come outside!
I am coming home with a bonnet!
You will
Have one! Come see it!
I have been watching your
tracks, German!
Wherever you would have gone,
somebody
Would have been there!
