[Verse 1]
In šat nagot geahččat dan bohttalii, oaidnit mirkko maid dáža buvttii go sii gilde min juoigamis
Muht’ mis lea fápmu go mis lea luohti

(Joik)

[Chorus]
They said the only way for us to survive was to become like them

[Verse 2]
Galgatgo duođaid dál juo vuollánit?
Easkka dál han lea áigi álgit
Galgat buohkaide čájehit aht' min árbi
Ii leat vuovdemassii

Can't you see the earth is in pain?
No matter how we hide it, the memories remain in a city in disguise that tries to hide the cries of indigenous eyes

[Chorus]
They said the only way for us to survive was to become like them
They said the only way for us to survive was to become like them
