Lover's River
On that river, my Grandfather wed the Big Chief's lovely daughter He gave a hundred horses to claim her as his bride They raised a mighty family, the pride of all the Cherokee When he died, she lay down by his side Refrain: Tsunadagaya Uweyu, where silver waters flow Some call it lover's river, some call it the Buffalo Tsunadagaya Uweyu, that's where I love to go Some call it lover's river, some call it the Buffalo From the caves on the hillside come the blowin' of the Buffalo Coming from that country that the white man never found The breezes in the valley are the voices of their loved ones Coming from the Happy Hunting Ground Refrain: Shining stars in clear waters are the eyes of true lovers They gaze into our faces as we look into their eyes When their spirits touch each other, their eyes begin to twinkle Casting their reflections in the skies Refrain: The world gate never closes to that mystic Happy Hunting Ground SongtexteTo loyal faithful lovers, whose hearts are brave and true Tsunadagaya Uweyu will take you to that country Gliding in the soul of your canoe Refrain: Aus Songtexte Mania
