We Shall Follow Our Brothers

Need translation...

The drum, like the heart

Has a beat that gives us life

It is the first sound that we hear

Even from our mother's womb

Each drum has a spirit

And each singer awakens these spirits

To come out for the dancers and the people

The songs are not written down

But are remembered by our singers

To help our people to remember

Our ancestors and our traditional ways

Which we will pass down to our children

There are many types of songs

There are songs of happiness

There are songs of thanks

Songs of honor

And even songs of sadness

With the beating of the drum

Every person is effected in a different way

The drum brings these emotions and the dancers

Into our sacred circle

We shall follow our brothers
