This song was taught to me by chief Kenneth Little Brave.  Wopila for this sacred prayer.

Pila Maya Lakota Song of Gratitude

He Mele No Ku’u Hawai’i

Translation:
“On this path headed for the jungle 
I have found a rattling bird 
that, inspired by the flight of the eagle, 
found in its heart 
this song that sprouts forth from the soul 
here and now

Rattling bird, 
you found in your vision 
a white bear 
with wings of a condor 
and the gaze of a jaguar

You interweave, mariri* 
the feathers of the eagle & the condor 
where the drops of the heavens rain down 
that today fertilize the seed

On this path 
headed for the jungle 
I have found a rattling bird

On this path
headed for the jungle
I have found a rattling heart”

This is a spontaneous recording on my phone, so you can hear the weather in the background.

This is a song that a dear sister's husband wrote while in a sundance ceremony.  He has recently passed away.  This is in honor of him, the beauty that Lakota people speak & walk, & for all of you to enjoy. ~*

I'm learning more instrumental to accompany my voice.  Enjoy this soothing piece if you're in the mood to relax.
