Native American Song Lyrics

 

 Song of the Buffalo Bulls, from the Osage tribe

I rise, I rise,

I, whose tread makes the earth rumble.

I rise, I rise,

I, in whose legs there is strength.

I rise, i rise,

I, who whips his back with his tail when in rage.

I rise, I rise,

I, in whose humped shoulder there is power.

I rise, I rise,I who shakes his mane when angered.

I rise, I rise:

I, whose horns are curved and sharp.

The Corn Grows

The corn grows up

The waters of the dark clouds

drop, dop.

The rain descends.

The waters fromthe corn leaves

drop, drop.

The rain descends.

The waters from the plants

drop, drop.

The corn grows up.

The waters of the dark mists

drop, drop.
