COLORS OF THE WIND

You think I'm an ignorant savage
And you've been so many places
I guess it must be so
But still I cannot see
If the savage one is me
How can there be so much that you don't know
You don't know
You think you own whatever land you land on
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew, you never knew
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun sweet berries of the Earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
How high will the sycamore grow
If you cut it down, then you'll never know
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the Earth and still
All you'll own is Earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind
CORES DO VENTO

Se acha que eu sou selvagem
Você viajou bastante talvez tenha razão
Mas não consigo ver mais selvagem quem vai ser
Precisa escutar com o coração
Coração...

Se pensas que esta terra lhe pertence,
Você tem muito ainda o que aprender
Pois cada planta, pedra ou criatura
Está viva, e tem alma, é um ser.
Se crer que só gente é seu semelhante
E os outros não têm o seu valor.
Mas se seguir pegadas de um estranho,
Mil surpresas vai achar ao seu redor.

Já ouviu um lobo uivando para a lua azul
Será que já viu um lince sorrir,
E é capaz de ouvir as vozes da montanha
E com as cores do vento colorir...
E com as cores do vento colorir.

Correndo pelas trilhas da floresta,
Provando das frutinhas o sabor,
Rolando em meio a tanta riqueza
Nunca vai calcular o seu valor.
