I invite you in traveller from afar
You come bearing stories, a lantern in the dark
I greet you here, I welcome what you bring
Though it may be hard to listen to I know you'll bring a change in me
CHORUS
Whoever you are you're welcome
Come sit here by my fire/table
The night is cold, my door's wide open
Oh there's room for many more
Tell me all your tales, your wisdom carried from many lands
Whoever you are you're welcome
Joy and sorrow I take you by the hand
Hayaya hayaiyaiyo hayaiyaiyai yaiyo x4
A messenger from the truth of who we are
A guide from within, silent whispers from the heart
I listen deep, your breath brings new wind
And I'm ready for the teachings I know you've come to teach
CHORUS
I listen deep to the silence within me x4
Whisper on the wind, the night holds secrets
Into you I creep, wrap me in your stillness
Hayaya hayaiyaiyo hayaiyaiyai yaiyo x4

From the Earth there are voices
They say listen closely to the wind
The elders live within me
I carry a river of ancient blood in my veins
Prayers are carried on the smoke
I follow the course of this river´s flow
I remember the call and I call to remember
May the old ways always live on in me
I remember (repeat)
CHORUS
I remember your songs, I remember your stories
I remember the drum beat of this land
I remember the wise ones who live in the silence
Los voces que hablan en el silencio
I remember timeless fires
I will follow silent voices
Wisdom Keepers whisper guidance
Ancient songs stir my memory
Heya heya ho
Yo recuerdo los seres que viven en el cielo
La memoria de las plantas
Las canciones de mis ancestros
Que cantan en el viento-ooooo
En el viento- ooooo x3
We are spirit, we’ve always been here
and here we always shall be
This wisdom was born from the Earth and the sky
and within them the secrets are held and never can die
I sow these seeds for my children's children
within our lives our ancestors breathe again
For with each breath this prayer becomes woven
We all carry an ancient wisdom

El amor es el agua infinita
Divinidad fluyendo pura vida
El río libre es mi sangre
Mi sangre roja es el camino
Por mi vida voy agradeciendo
Me das la fuerza para seguir caminando
escucha me a ti yo te llamo
Wakantanka, Abuelas y Abuelos
Con mi familia voy agradeciendo
rezamos a la vida juntos vamos curando
escucha nos, estamos llamando
Wakantanka, Abuelas y Abuelos
Canta a la luna y a la madre Tierra
Canta dando vueltas al padre sol (x 4)
Mi aliento es mi rezo
Con el agua del amor yo voy llegando
en mis venas tus ríos corriendo
Mi sangre roja es el camino (x2)
Translation
Water of love
Love is the infinite water
Divinity flowing, pure life
The free river is my blood
My red blood is the path
For my life I am grateful
You give me the strength to keep walking
listen to me, I call you
Wakantanka, Grandmothers and Grandfathers
With my family I am grateful
We pray to life, together we heal
Listen to us, we're calling
Wakantanka, Grandmothers and Grandfathers
Sing to the moon and mother earth
Singing around the father sun
My breath is my prayer
With the water of love I'm coming
In my veins your rivers running
My red blood is the path

Guiding and Protecting

Here we enter, I feel you gather
Feathers in your hair and in your hands
Holding this circle, timelessly woven
Keepers of the invisible kingdom
Then I hear you say to me
‘We are the Ancestors
We are the spirit beings of this land
Lean into us, for we are holding you
Weaving the threads of your life and guiding your hand
We speak to your soul, we sing through your blood
and we drum through your bones
This memory that you've known
You know what your spirit came here for
We are walking you home, we are guiding you home
Weya weya weya ho, Weya weya hai hai hai ho x4
We are the force that shows the way
We are the light shining upon your path
We are the spirit woven within this all
We are the future the present and past
We are the song lines of the ancestors
We are the light that shines eternal
We are the flaming fire within the Earth
We are the memory of all tribal people
We are guiding and protecting you
We are breathing life through you
Guiding and protecting you
We are the breath of life breathing through
Guiding and protecting you
We are the spirit of life that moves through you
Weya weya weya ho, Weya weya hai hai hai ho x 4
Weya weya weya hey, weya weya ho
Weya weya hai hai hai ho x 3

Agua Hermosa, permiso para orar
A tus aguas cristalinas, espíritu divina
Llevando tu bendición, curandera femenina
Sangre de la Tierra, agua es la vida
CHORUS
Fluyendo, fluyendo, fluyendo
Cantando tu canción misteriosa
Celebrando, alegrando, enseñando con movimiento
Bailando los ciclos de la vida
Yo seré como el agua
Transparente como el agua
Fluida como el agua
Clara y pura como el agua
Agua, escuchando tu voz
Hablando en la lengua de la creación
Madre enséñame, guía mi camino
A fluir con confianza, ser como el río
CHORUS
Vengo a escuchar a los secretos del agua
Vengo a cantar con el misterio del agua
Madre agua, Yakumama, Agua Sagrada, Mni Wakan

Hold to the light that is born of the dark
Go now my child set this free
Tattered are my wings but now I fly stronger
I will allow this healing
The howl of the wolves urges me onwards
Feathers that open the clouds
In the waters of this river I will be carried
In the shaking of my heart I'll stand proud, I stand proud
CHORUS
Keep my heart strong, hold my head up high
Open my wings in my breaking
I'm collecting firewood, I'll be back at dawn
I'll stand strong in my shaking
I remember to remember I came here to learn this
Be still with what moves deep in me
I am a place beyond the pain, I am eternal
I am the light I see
I know nothing else, I am only this
In the truth of my being there is only peace
So I welcome you in, for I know that I know
You've come here to teach me to spin straw into gold
Sorrow into gold x 3
CHORUS
Deeper and deeper, the deep calls me deeper x 2
Into the water I go x 4
I'll not back away, not be afraid x 3
Not back away, not be afraid of the pain
The deep calls to deep (repeat)

Softening, softening, softening all the hardness
Melting, melting, melting all that’s frozen
Letting go, letting go of the sorrow
Dissolving into love all the shadow
CHORUS
We are woman, we are bringers of life
We are vessels of love, expressions of the divine
Sisters hold my hand, you are stronger than you know
We are opening to love, we are learning how to grow
We hear the call, we are returning we remember
We are like the rose we are stronger than we know x 2
Ancient mother, moving through us
Roots growing deep in our ancestry
Medicine woman, daughter, mother and lover
Reclaiming the power of our ancient memory

Hay una voz dentro mi corazón

La flecha de mi alma va volando
Mi fe es la fuerza que me da vuelo

Song of the Drum

Spirit of the drum come speak in your tongue
The language of the song of the soul
It's the spirit of the drum that sings the song
Of creation of life in my bones
It’s the beat of my heart, it’s the sound of my ancestors
Singing their memory through me
For they live on in the beat of the drum
Awakening when we call them
Chorus
We call with the drum Haiyeaaa
We call to heart Haiyeeayo
We call to the drum Haiyeaaa
We call with the heart Haiyeeayo
Calling, we're calling, we're calling, we're calling,
we're calling, Haiyaiyaiyaiyo
Return to the Earth, the elders dreamed this
Our grandfathers dreamed us
The ancient ones saw this
A time for remembering, a time for believing
To protect what gives life, to protect all that's sacred
I give myself to the great remembering
May the smoke of my prayer light the path that I walk
Let go, let go, let go and surrender
I am of the Earth and my life is yours
CHORUS
The heartbeat of the drum Haiyeaaa
The drum beat of the heart Haiyeaaayo

Wisdom of the Invisible
08:25

I come to speak with you to listen to the silence of your voice
I come to learn the truth, I come to see I always have a choice
I turn inward, to find the stillness in myself
I am part of the beauty all around me
A breathing miracle, I am a prayer of life itself
I am made of sea and stars and dust and wind x 2
CHORUS
Ancestors gather around, spirit beings gathering
All that I know is that my heart is remembering
An ancient memory of all that we have been
Wisdom of the invisible, the seed from where all life begins
Hayahaya hayahayo Hayahaya hayahayo (repeat)
I’m being given the key to find the place of trust in trust itself
I am being set free, I am being shown the pathways to the home of my soul
The path I walk is the path that was made for only me
Life I trust that you bring me what I need
This is shaping me, I am growing into life
All these teachings are giving me wings
CHORUS
All I know is that I know you
And that the Earth will always hold me
All I know is that I know you
And that the sky will always love me

Venimos a aprender yanahey
Venimos para ver yanahey
La obscuridad yanahey
El misterio de la verdad yanahey
Pinta, canta, cura medicina
Sana, sana, planta curandera
Rezando con la madre tierra
Cura, canta maestra de la selva
De la naturaleza nacen los secretos
Escondido en los brazos del misterio
Que la sabiduría de la tierra
Siempre vibre, siempre viva x 2
Siempre vibre, siempre me guíe x 2
Trabajando con el espíritu
Cura, canta plumajera
Con las plumas del arco iris
Oraciones curan la tribu
Despertando la memoria
Cantando las canciones
Siete flechas del destino
Abriendo el camino
Las abuelas viven en mi
Las curanderas respirando
sabiduría de mi sangre
Curandera cura mi gente
Cura mi sangre x 2
