Black Elk

"Eu não sabia o quanto havia acabado."I did not know how much was ended.
Quando olho para trás agora, deste alto morro da minha velhice,When I look back now from this high hill of my old age,
Ainda consigo ver as mulheres eI can still see the butchered women and
crianças massacradas, deitadas em montes e espalhadas por todachildren lying heaped and scattered all
a garganta tortuosa, tão claras quantoalong the crooked gulch as plain as
as vi com olhos ainda jovens.I saw them with eyes still young.
E posso ver que algo mais morreu aliAnd I can see that something else died there
na lama ensanguentada e foi enterrado na nevasca.in the bloody mud and was buried in the blizzard.
O sonho de um povo morreu ali. Era um sonho lindo."A people's dream died there. it was a beautiful dream."
