Lyrics & Translation
English
Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam
And the death of a race is a game
Where seldom is heard a peaceable word
From the white trash who killed as they came
Though these words dig deep, they offer no relief
God save the queen, I am an Indian chief
There is a secret I keep, it's called the talking leaf
And you better believe that he speaks his beliefs
Like a rock that bleeds a sea of grief
My talking leaf speaks of a wounded knee creek
American ghost dance
American ghost dance
American ghost dance
American ghost dance
A new man who is with old ways
He walks the streets of life, but he's in chains
I'm alive he cried, I can feel the flame
Burning red inside, I am an Indian brave
There is a memory, uh huh, that lives in my blood
Of the brand you laid on all you touched
But the burning flame, it turns to burning pain
Genuine genocide and that's truly insane
So like a wild hurricane, I will dance on the grave
Of my race that died when it should have been saved
American ghost dance
American ghost dance
American ghost dance
American ghost dance
Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam
And the death of a race is a game
Where seldom is heard a peaceable word
From the white trash who killed as they came
Though these words dig deep, they offer no relief
God save the queen, I am an Indian chief
There is a secret I keep, it's called the talking leaf
And you better believe that he speaks his beliefs
Like a rock that bleeds a sea of grief
My talking leaf speaks of a wounded knee creek

American Ghost Dance (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Oh, dame un hogar donde los búfalos deambulan
Y la muerte de una raza es un juego
Donde rara vez se escucha una palabra pacífica
De la chusma blanca que mató al llegar
Aunque estas palabras calan hondo, no ofrecen alivio
Dios salve a la reina, soy un jefe indio
Hay un secreto que guardo, se llama la hoja parlante
Y es mejor que creas que él habla sus creencias
Como una roca que sangra un mar de dolor
Mi hoja parlante habla de un arroyo de la rodilla herida
Danza fantasma americana
Danza fantasma americana

Un hombre nuevo que está con viejas costumbres
Camina por las calles de la vida, pero está encadenado
Estoy vivo, gritó, puedo sentir la llama
Ardiendo roja por dentro, soy un valiente indio
Hay un recuerdo, uh huh, que vive en mi sangre
De la marca que dejaste en todo lo que tocaste
Pero la llama ardiente, se convierte en dolor ardiente
Genocidio genuino y eso es verdaderamente una locura
Así que como un huracán salvaje, bailaré sobre la tumba
De mi raza que murió cuando debió ser salvada
