Redbone – We were all wounded at Wounded Knee


We were all wounded at wonded knee

We were all wounded at Wounded Knee
You and me
We were all wounded at Wounded Knee
You and me
In the name of Manifest Destiny
You and me
You and me
You and me

They made us many Promises
But always broke their Word
They penned us in like Buffalo
Drove us like a Heard
And finally on the Reservation
We were going for our Preservation
We were all wiped out by the seventh Calvary
You and me
You and me

We were all wounded at Wounded Knee
You and me
We were all wounded at Wounded Knee
You and me
In the name of Manifest Destiny
You and me
You and me
You and me
Now we make our Promises
We won’t break our Word
Well sing, sing, sing out our Story
Till the Truth is heard
There’s a whole new Generation
Which will dream of Veneration
Who were not wiped out by the seventh Calvary
You and me
You and me

We were all wounded at Wounded Knee
You and me
We were all wounded at Wounded Knee
You and me
We were all wounded by Wounded Knee

Todos fuimos heridos en Wonded Knee*

Todos fuimos heridos en Wounded Knee
Vosotros y yo
Todos fuimos heridos en Wounded Knee
Vosotros y yo
En nombre del Destino manifiesto**
Vosotros y yo
Vosotros y yo
Vosotros y yo

Nos hicieron muchas promesas
Pero siempre rompieron su palabra
Nos encerraron como a un búfalo
Nos condujeron como a un Heard
Y finalmente en la Reserva
Estábamos yendo para nuestra Preservación
Todos fuimos aniquilados por el séptimo regimiento
Vosotros y yo
Vosotros y yo

Todos fuimos heridos en Wounded Knee
Vosotros y yo
Todos fuimos heridos en Wounded Knee
Vosotros y yo
En nombre del Destino manifiesto
Vosotros y yo
Vosotros y yo
Vosotros y yo
Ahora hacemos nuestras promesas
No romperemos nuestra palabra
En fin, canta, canta, canta nuestra historia
Hasta que la verdad sea escuchada
Hay toda una nueva generación
Que soñará con la Veneración
Que no fueron aniquilados por el séptimo regimiento
Vosotros y yo
Vosotros y yo

Todos fuimos heridos en Wounded Knee
Vosotros y yo
Todos fuimos heridos en Wounded Knee
Vosotros y yo
Todos fuimos heridos por Wounded Knee

*Wounded Knee es el nombre que se le dio a la matanza de un grupo de indígenas por parte de un regimiento comandado por Samuel Shitside el 29 de diciembre de 1890, cerca del arroyo Wounded Knee, en la reserva india de Pine Ridge (Dakota del Sur).
**La doctrina del Destino manifiesto (Manifest Destiny) consiste en la creencia de que los Estados Unidos es una nación destinada a expandirse desde las costas del Atlántico hasta el Pacífico, justificando de esta forma las adquisiciones territoriales.
