Cherokee People, Cherokee Pride

Words and Music by John D. Loudermilk

performed by Paul Revere and the Raiders

They took the whole Cherokee nation

Put us on this reservation

Took away our ways of life

The tomahawk and the bow and knife

Took away our native tongue

And taught their English to our young

And all the beads we made by hand

Are nowadays made in Japan

Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe

So proud to live, so proud to die

They took the whole Indian nation

Locked us on this reservation

Though I wear a shirt and tie

I'm still part redman deep inside

Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe

So proud to live, so proud to die

But maybe someday when they learn

Cherokee nation will return, will return, will return, will return,

will return

Podnosili ramiona ku niebu

w nadziei, że dotkną obłoków, 

chcieli szybować wśród gwiazd.

jedni zwątpili,

inni dusze ptaków

zaklęli w ogniu i stali.

A my wciąż podnosimy ku niebu ramiona

w nadziei, że dotkniemy obłoków.

chcemy szybować wśród gwiazd.

Trwamy cierpliwie ,

aż nasze ramiona przemienią się w skrzydła

uniosą nas ponad marzenia
