1
For all our languages we can't communicate
2
For all our native tongues we're all native here
3
Sons of their fathers' dream the same dream
4
The sound of forbidden words become a scream
5
Voices of anger, victims of history
6
Plundered and set aside, grown fat on swallowed pride
7
With promises of paradise and gifts of beads and knives
8
Missionaries and pioneers are all soldiers in disguise
9
Saviors and conquerors they make us wait
10
The fishers of men they wave their truth like bait
11
With the touch of a strangers' hand innocence turns to shame
12
The spirit that dwelt within it sleeps out in the rain
13
For all our native tongues we can't communicate
14
For all our native tongues we're all natives here
15
The scars of the past are slow to disappear
16
The cries of the dead are always in our ears
17
Only the very safe can talk about wrong and right
18
Of those who are forced to choose some will choose to fight
19
Promesses de paradis terrestre,
20

23
Ils nous font attendre
24
Des charlatans ondulant
25
Leur verite comme un applat
26
Au toucher d'une main atrange
27
L'innocence se convertit en deshonneur
28
L'esprit qui demeure a l'interieur
29
Dort dans la pluie
30
Malgre toutes nos langues,
31
Nous ne pouvons communiquer
32
Malgre toutes nos langues natives,
33
Nous sommes tous natifs ici
34
Les cicatrices du passe sont lentes a disparaitre
35
Les complaintes des morts resonnent toujours
36
Dans notre tete le bien du mal
37
De ceux forces de choisir,
38
Quelques uns choisiront de lutter
