lyrics

Gula gula nieida gánda
Gula máttut dál du čurvot
manin attát eatnama duolvat
mirkkoduvvot guoriduvvot
mirkkoduvvot guoriduvvot

Gula jiena nieida gánda
Gula máttaráhkuid jiena
eana lea min buohkaid eadni
su jos soardit ieža jápmit
su jos soardit ieža jápmit

Letgo diktán iežat báidnot
leatgo iešge mielde gilvvus
Gula máttut dál dus jerret
itgo don muitte gos don vulget
itgo don muitte gos don vulget

Dus leat oappát dus leat vieljat
Lulli – Ámeriihkka arvevuvddiin
Ruonaeatnama geađgerittuin
Itgo don muitte gos don vulget
Itgo don muitte gos don vulget

Gula gula nieida gánda
Gula máttut dál du čurvot
manin attát eatnama duolvat
mirkkoduvvot guoriduvvot
mirkkoduvvot guoriduvvot

Gula jiena nieida gánda
gula máttaráhkuid jiena
Eana lea min buohkaid eadni
Su jos soardit ieža jápmit
Su jos soardit ieža jápmit


Gula brother Gula sister
Hear the voices of our foremothers
Why have you defiled the earth
Poisoned depleted
Poisoned depleted

Listen brother Listen sister
Hear the song of our ancestors
Eatnan, our mother, is Earth
If we kill her
we also die

Did you get snared in the fiction
That symbiosis is competition
Hear our forefathers’ question
Do you know where you are from

You have brothers
You have sisters
in the Amazonian rainforests
on the windswept cliffs of Greenland

Do you remember where you come from




Hør bror
hør søster
hør forfedrenes stemme
Hvorfor lar du jorda lide
forgiftes og pines
hør bror
hør søster
Hør stammødrenes stemme
jorda er vår mor
tar vi livet av henne
dør vi med

Har du sjøl alt tatt skade
er du også med i løpet
hør
de spør deg
Har du glemt hvor du kommer fra
Du har brødre
du har søstre
i Sør-Amerikas regnskoger
på Grønlands karrige kyst
Har du glemt hvor du kommer fra
