we are the stars which sing

we sing with our light;

we are the birds of fire,

we fly over the sky.

our light is a voice;

we make a road for the spirit to pass over



{algonquian indian}



outò, ba mwen son ou,e,

outò, ba mwen son ou,e,

tanbouyè, o ba mwen son ou,

solèy lève.

outò, give me your sound,

outò, give me your sound,

drummer, give me your sound,

the sun rises.
