COLORS OF THE WIND

You think I'm an ignorant savage
And you've been so many places
I guess it must be so
But still I cannot see
If the savage one is me
How can there be so much that you don't know
You don't know
You think you own whatever land you land on
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew, you never knew
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun sweet berries of the Earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
How high will the sycamore grow
If you cut it down, then you'll never know
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the Earth and still
All you'll own is Earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind
FARBY VETRA

Máš pocit, že ja som len divoch
A ty poznáš cuizie kraje, svet čo je náš i váš,
Já pochybnosti mám, či ten divoch niesi sám
Keď toho toľko vôbec nepoznáš, nepoznáš

Ty myslíš si, že všade, kde sa zjavíš,
Je mŕtva zem a tú si môžeš vziať
No má svôj život dušu svoje meno
Každý tvor každý strom a každý vták

Len takí čo sú ako ty sú ludia,
To si myslíš a v tom je celý kríž
No ak sa pustíš po neznámych stopách,
Tak sa plno nových vecí naučíš

Už si počul vlka na belasý mesiac vyť?
A úsmev divej mačky v očiach máš?
Povedz či vieš pieseň ktorú nôtia bralá?
Povedz všetky farby vetra rozoznáš?
Povedz všetky farby vetra rozoznáš?

Poď prebehni sa po chodníkoch lesa
A ber čo núka lúka pole háj,
Poď ochutnaj tie sladké plody zeme
Aspoň raz na cenu sa nepýtaj

Oceán a víchor sú mi bratia
A morské vlny plni moje sny
Tu od vekov sme navždy každý s každým
Pevně jedným večným kruhom spojený

Kam strom, kam až vyrastie, vieš?
Ak ho popravíš nič sa nedozvieš

A tiež neuvidíš jak vlk vyje na mesiac
Veď nech sme kto sme tento svet je náš
Aj ty si budeš spievat jako strmé bralá
Aj ty všetky farby vetra rozoznáš

Zem je aj tvoj štědrý dom
Ale doma budeš v ňom
Až keď krásne farby vetra rozoznáš
