tapi ku tak mengerti bila ku tak berada
mengapa banyak hal yang kau tak tahu, yang kau tak tahu
tanah hanyalah yang kau miliki
tapi ku tahu batu, pohon, dan makhluk
berjiwa, punya hati, bernama
hal yang sama seperti dirimu
jika kau ikuti jejak yang lain
kau belajar hal yang belum kau tahu
mengertikanlah hewan tersenyum
dapatkah kau ikuti suaraku
melukis dengan semua warna angin
melukis dengan semua warna angin
rasakan manis buah di bumi
nikmati kekayaan sekitarmu
tanpa harus kau peduli nilainya
bangau dan berang-berang temanku
kita diciptakan untuk bersama
di dalam lingkaran yang tiada akhir
atau apakah kita berbeda
kau harus menyanyi bersama suara gunung
dan melukiskan semua warna angin
semua yang kau miliki hanyalah tanah ini
sampai kau bisa melukis warna angin
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
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
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
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 heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other,
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
If you cut it down, then you'll never know
For whether we are white or copper-skinned
Need to paint with all the colors of the wind
All you'll own is earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind
