Can somebody please tell her how much I love her?
That there's been nothing so delightful here for years now like her?
That what we have runs too deep
And that I'll love her for as long as there runs blood through these veins?
That I'll protect her with this same blood even until death
And that I'll pledge to help forever, even as I retreat?
With all my strength and at every cost
And I know that I can make it even if God alone knows the way
You have to write her that, when I won't find one, I'll build myself a path
And tell the heathens that I'll live and die for this woman
Please show me that it's really not much longer
Until she can be safe and by my side
Can you tell her we'll get through this somehow?
For lo, we carry too much love to fret and frown
Tell her nothing stays the same, we had mighty requests
Yet we have already received, at the Almighty's behest; tell her...
We are One
Tell her not that, when I realise where she's living now, I start to shake
And that, even while it's hard, I've started drinking even more since then
Tell her not how it destroys me, that's not between the two of us
Like how I hate this fucking whore and how I scorn at her friends
Not how every single lie of hers boils my blood
Or how it makes me way too mad to keep on listening
Not how it's unendurable to feel more loss yet again
Don't say that, when I speak of her, it's like my throat has been tied
Don't say that tears come running down and my voice is giving out
Because my life has been taken and yet I'm still there
Spare her all those small things that she should better not know
Like how the name alone offends me and all that stark ugly mess
Can you tell her we'll get through this somehow?
For lo, we carry too much love to fret and frown
Tell her that dreams will take us far, assure her of the dignity
And sing anew when nothing else is left to say but...
We are One
Can somebody please tell her that I will not know peace
Until I'll have her in my name and I'll come to burn down
Whatever's in our way that seperates us?
That I'll give everything I have to find and free her?
That we hold something within us that only awakens in crisis
And that they don't have a hint about our true resistive force?
Tell her that blackfeet are strong, that I'll be there soon
To weed out whatever might harm her
Tell her I'm working towards that day
Tell her that I can hardly wait
Say that I know she has been traumatised
But that, once I liberated her, she will breathe again
Can you tell her we'll get through this somehow?
For lo, we carry too much love to fret and frown
Tell her the end is so near, I can see it converging
Not much longer till the day of our reformation; tell her...
We are One
