Translation
Bilingual
They took the whole Cherokee nation
ย
Put us on this reservation
ย
Took away our ways of life
ย
The tomahawk and the bow and knife
ย
Took away our native tongue
ย
And taught their English to our young
ย
And all the beads we made by hand
ย
Are nowadays made in Japan
ย
Cherokee people
Cherokee tribe
So proud to live
So proud to die
ย
They took the whole Indian nation
ย
Locked us on this reservation
ย
Though I wear a shirt and tie
I'm still part red man deep inside
ย
Cherokee people
Cherokee tribe
So proud to live
So proud to die
ย
But maybe someday, when they've learnt
ย
The Cherokee nation will return
Will return, will return
Will return, will return
