A new original song in the language of my People in Apsaalooke (Crow Native American) for you to enjoy. Our language is dying somewhat as there aren't many of us, and while I am learning it, I wrote a song which I hope you enjoy!!!
Happy Valentine's day!
Love +Ysabella Brave

Rough English translation:
A boy went running
ran away
to the other side
He is one discouraged, giving up
It is scarred where he is wounded, and his house came crumbling down
He got in the mood when they beat the drum
For Heaven's sake!
Boys are mischievous
they are fast runners
the days are so much longer
Then he found his weapon he'd lost
and came to his senses, came back.
He barely made it!
I know he understands my hardships,
and he knows me among the crowd
I was going to go with him, but I didn't.
While he runs away on the other side, I will run away on this side.
He can go on and run,
I will go on and sing.

  • ysabella brave, if you found the time do you think you could come to montana to some of the tribal events? native days is june 23-28th and Crow Fair is the third week in august. come and see what your crow people are like.

  • @Assinicrow

    I wish I could go, my heart longs to. For now I am ill in my home and in hospital.

  • you can sing but or you crow... im crow and italian

  • @davyd510

    Yes my people are Apsaalooke. I am also North African (Morocco) & Portuguese. Black White and Red. :)

  • I"ll start by saying Ysabella has a beautiful voice. I am from the Crow Indian Reservation in Montana and I speak fluent Crow. My coworker and I have been playing this song over and over again. We cannot understand a word that is being said. The first two words kind of sound Crow, but somewhat mispronounced. I do not say this out of disrespect and yes our language is dying and it has butchered here for sure. A modest Crow woman would not use a men's breastplate with nothing under it. Aho

  • I would love it if you would make a video correcting me! I am afraid I have little to go on but my own trying. As for being a modest woman, to this I do endeavor. When it comes to being a warrior, as in many things, one might find me to be exceedingly jarring. :)
