/Never shall you be subdued /If you heed your golden Sámi tongue, / Remember the ancestors†

Hear the sound, born from us 
Arctic , our breath 
Brings air to life 

From far, from further 
The antlers of the deer 
Shape our state of being 

We heard with our soul 
We, men of winds 
We sing the souls 

We herd the deer 
Their bones shall bring us 
Home 

Somewhere in a distance 
Drums await us 
Noadi knows the way 

He sings the wisdom 
Of the tundra 
Of traces in the snow 

Journey of ice 
The midnightsun 
Will know 


notes 

Noadi--a shaman 

A dedication to the sami 
The indigenous people of the north
