Song from Lapland
Composed by Mari Boine (Sápmi/Norway)
lyrics
Translation:
Hear the voices of the foremothers
Hear
They ask you why you let the earth become polluted
Poisoned
Exhausted
They remind you where you come from
Do you hear?
Again they want to remind you
That the earth is our mother
If we take her life
We die with her.
