They lived in peace, not long ago
A mighty Indian tribe
But the winds of change,
Had made them realize, that the promises were lies
不久之前，強大的印地安部落，
他們平靜地居住著，
然而改變的風潮，讓他們了解到，
承諾都是虛偽的謊言。

The white mans greed, in search of gold
Made the nation bleed
They lost their faith
And now they hade to learn
There was no place to return
Nowhere they could turn
白種人的貪婪，為了尋找黃金，
血染了這個民族，
他們已失去信心，
如今他們必須學著無家可歸，無路可退。

Cherokee - marching on the trail of tears
Cherokee人，踏著淚水的痕跡前進。

They were driven hard, across the plains
And walked for many moons
Cause the winds of change,
Had made them realize, that the promises were lies
他們曾艱辛地走過曠野，
在無數的夜裡前進，
因為改變的風潮，讓他們了解到，
承諾都是虛偽的謊言。

So much to bear, all that pain
Left them in despair
They lost their faith
And now they hade to learn
There was no place to return
Nowhere they could turn
承受了太多的痛苦，
讓他們陷入絕望，

他們已失去信心，
如今他們必須學著無家可歸，無路可退。
