Sámi lyrics:

De rahpasii giđđaeatnu fas
De dulvvi miel luoittašeimmet
Jiekŋaidja gárttai viimat vuollánit
Bieggabártnažan

De girdilin biellocizažiin
De joradin guovssahasain
Vuoibmás vuoiŋŋ‹ahagas šogádeimme ovttas
Mu bieggabártnažan

De rahtase jienaheamit fas
De golggiihii sátnerávdnji
Gálbmon gáttiin go mii viimat gávnnadeimmet
Bieggabártnažan

Go váccašat ealloravddas de...
Go guođuhat suhkesoivviid...
Almmiravda ealaska ja sugada
Mu bieggabártnažan

Translated english lyrics:

And so the spring river opened up again
And so we let ourselves drift with the flood
The night of ice had to give in
My dearest son of the wind

Surely I flew with the bluethroat
Surely I danced with the northern light
In the strongest of breath we exhaled as one
My dearest son of the wind

The lips of the silenced people bursted out in speech
The stream of words once again were flowing
Over the frozen riverbanks when we finally came together
My dearest son of the wind

When you´re walking alongside the reindeer-herd...
When you guard the reindeer-oxen with the great antlers...
All of the horizon comes alive and starts to move
My dearest son of the wind

Im a Mari boine fan, Idjagiedas is excellent, but Leahkastin is even deeper, when I hear this music I do with a canddle light, looking the fire into the darkness of my room is the better way to enjoy, look at you tube another very nice native song from the venezuelan Amazon Canto Piaroa, shure you will like it too.

@Darkstorms15 Most Saami-descended Americans think they're Norwegian, Swede or Finn. I was fortunate enough that my surname was established by an Eira in the 18th-century and hasn't changed since, so I was able to track it down via the parish records.
