Lyrics

Colors of the wind (english version)

You think you own whatever land you land on
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know ev'ry rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned ?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain ?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ?

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth

The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
In a cirle, in a hoop that never ends

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or let the eagle tell you there he's been
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain ?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ?

How high does the sycamore grow ?
If you cut it down, then you'll never know

And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper-skinned
We just sing with all the voices of the mountain
Need to paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the earth and still
All you'll own is earth until
You can paint with all colors of the wind

Colores en el viento (spanish version)

Te crees señor de todo territorio
La tierra sólo quieres poseer
Mas toda roca, planta o criatura
Viva está, tiene alma, es un ser

Tú crees que igual a ti es todo el mondo
Y hablas como un gran conecedor
Mas sigue las pisadas de un extraño
Y mil sorpresas hallasás alrededor

Escuchaste aullar los lobos a la luna azul
O has visto a un lince sonreír?
O unirte a la voz de las montañas
Y colores en el viento descubrir?
Y colores en el viento descubrir

Corramos por veredas en el bosque
Probemos de sus frutos el sabor
Descubre qué riqueza te rodea
Sin pensar un instante en su valor

Hermanos son el río y la lluvia
Amigos somos todos como ves
Vivimos muy felices tan unidos
En un ciclo fraternal que eterno es

Escuchaste aullar los lobos a la luna azul
O has visto a un lince sonreír?
O unirte a la voz de las montañas
Y colores en el viento descubrir?
Y colores en el viento descubrir

Cuán alto el árbol será?
Si lo cortas hoy, nunca se sabrá

Y no oirás aullar los lobos a la luna azul
Sea blanca o morena nuestra piel
Todos tenemos que cantar con las montañas
Y colores en el viento descubrir
Si no entiendes qué hay aqui
Sólo es tierra para ti
Sin colores en el viento descubrir
