Mother Earth was in the garden while her kids were runnin' ‘round Sister Moon was laughing as she ran Then Brother Sun crashed into his mother's garden pail Spreadin' seeds all over the land So they say this is how the woods were made With the aspens, the oaks, and evergreens Don't you know that sometimes it happens by mistake That we make the most beautiful things When Brother Sun fell down in the dirt Father Sky filled a basin with the rain Then Sister Moon tripped and tumbled in Splashing water all across the plains So they say this is how the rivers were forged With the rapids, the rushes, and the springs Don't you know that sometimes it happens by chance That we make the most beautiful things [Navajo: ] Nízhóonígoo adah íílyah (They made it beautifully) Sister Moon and Brother Sun were out in the yard Throwin' mud and digging holes in the ground They kicked and they rolled all over the fields Pushing up rocks and dirt all around SongtexteSo they say this is how the mountains were formed With the peaks, the valleys, and the streams Don't you know that sometimes it happens by playing That we make the most beautiful things [Navajo:] Nízhóonígoo adah íílyah (They made it beautifully) At the end of the day Mother Earth was tired And put her children down to rest - Dah'íílwoosh sha'ałchíní (go to sleep my children) She made two beds at the ends of the sky One in the east, and one in the west So they say this is how our days were split By the nights, the stars, and our dreams Don't you know that it takes some darkness and some light To make the most beautiful things Nízhóonígoo adah íílyah (They made it beautifully) Chant translation: "They made everything beautiful in the most perfect way" Aus Songtexte Mania
