Tribute to my Cherokee grandmother and all my relations and ancestors. This is a version arranged by Robbie Robertson, voice is Rita Coolidge. The soundtrack, Music for The Native Americans, was used in Ted Turner's TBN 6 hour mini-series: The Native Americans.
We n' de ya ho, We n' de ya ho,
We n' de ya, We n' de ya Ho ho ho ho,
He ya ho, He ya ho, Ya ya ya

Translation - We n' de ya ho
Freely translated: "A we n'" (I am), "de" (of), "Yauh" --the-- (Great Spirit), "Ho" (it is so).
Written as: A we n' de Yauh ho (I am of the Great Spirit, Ho!).
This language stems from very ancient Cherokee

Translation by David Michael Wolfe who is an Eastern Virginia Cherokee and a cultural historian. Thanks to Maurizio Orlando for providing the translation.
