[Verse 1] Hey ya ho, hey ya ho I saw their horses coming along the ridge The enemy nation was so many, so very many! But our Nakoda road is good, hey ya ho [Chorus] Warriors! Warriors! Strong hearts! Such a good road, hey ya ho So beautiful, so beautiful, hey ya ho! All my relatives, hey ya ho! [Verse 2] They outnumbered us greatly on the battlefield But our Nakoda warriors charged like thunder and wind! Behold their good road — fast like the wind! Their arrows flew true, their hearts were strong! [Chorus] Warriors! Warriors! Strong hearts! Such a good road, hey ya ho So beautiful, so beautiful, hey ya ho! All my relatives, hey ya ho! [Verse 3] Great Spirit, have pity on us — you helped us! The enemy’s road was broken, they fell before us Our Nakoda victory song is beautiful Such a good road, hey ya ho! [Final Chorus] Hey ya ho, hey ya ho Nakoda warriors of the good road, hey ya ho! Our Nakoda people are strong and good! All my relatives, hey ya ho!
