Broken Treaties

Tratados Quebrados

Broken Treaties

O homem branco devastou as fronteiras,The white-man ravaged the frontiers,
Os terrenos de caça e as planícies,The hunting grounds and the plains,
Seus guerreiros foram massacrados em milhares,Their braves were slaughtered in thousands,
O sangue caía como chuva,The blood was falling like rain,
Os tratados foram assinados e o homem branco sorriu,The treaties were signed and the white-man smiled,
Enquanto cravava suas facas em suas costas,While twisting their knives in their backs,
Toda a Nação Indígena enfrentava a fome,The whole Indian Nation, was facing starvation,
Uma rede de ilusão, espremendo a vida das tribos,A net of illusion, was squeezing the life from the tribes,
Suas mulheres eram torturadas, seus corpos jogados nas chamas.Their women were tortured, their bodys thrown into the flames.

As flechas flamejantes voavam,The flaming arrows were flying,
E a fumaça subia ao céu,And smoke rose up to the sky,
A Cavalaria continuava a atacar,The Cavalry kept on charging,
Os soldados nunca perguntavam o porquê,The soldiers never asked why,
Os Chefes ainda acreditam que seu povo pode se erguer,The Chiefs still believe that their people could rise,

E se unir em um ataque final,And unite in a final attack,
Os tratados foram quebrados pela ganância do homem branco,The treaties were broken by white-mans's greed,
Eles lutaram por sua liberdade, comprada com sangue,They fought for their freedom, bought with blood,
A Nação Cherokee, Shawnee e Sioux,The Cherokee Nation, Shawnee and Souix,
Um milhão de guerreiros, em um ataque surpresa.A million war-braves, in surprise attack.
