Sámi lyrics:

Seavdnjadeamos seavdnjadii,
čiekŋaleamos bákčasii
gos doaivva, vuoigŋa dihtton ii
die diesa riegádin mun

Go čurvon heađis, holvo sii
seaktin dolvo mu máisttašit
máná sielu gaikkodit
sálvin nannosit eallimii

Mu váibmu coahkká ja vuoiŋŋan ain
vujohahkii deddojuvvon muh' lean ain dás
čalmmát
bahá čalbmái
mun ealán, dás bisun – mihán

Váhnen mahkáš – nu behtolaš
sávan gáđohus vástida
go don ja valvát ollebeht'
ošoše dolat njuokčamiin

Ja don gii oskkus sárdnidat
ándagassii addima deattuhat
ipmil go lei gii guđii mu
oarbbisin seavdnjadassii nie

Mu váibmu coahkká ja vuoiŋŋan ain
vujohahkii deddojuvvun muh' lean ain dás
čalmmát bahá čalbmái
mun ealán, dás bisun – mihán

Seavdnjadeamos seavdnjadii
čiekŋaleamos bákčasii
gos doaivva, vuoigŋa dihtton ii
die diesa riegádin mun


English lyrics:

Into the darkest dark
Into the deepest pain
Where all hope disappears
Into this I was born

When I cried for help
They only brayed
Grabbed at easy prey
Took my childhood away
But I clung to life

My heart still beats
And I still breathe
They couldn’t drown me
In the sinking moor
I’m still here
Face to face with the evil eye
I am alive
I’m walking tall – mihá

The caring parent
You were meant to be
You betrayed
May your hell welcome you
And your slavering pack with flames
Swallow you all

To those who preach of grace
When does forgiveness give permission
What kind of god bows down to men
And abandons children?

My heart still beats
And I still breathe
They couldn’t drown me
In the sinking moor
I’m still here
Face to face with the evil eye
I am alive
I’m walking tall – mihá

Into the darkest dark
Into the deepest pain
Where all hope disappears
Into this I was born
