A A
Wake alone in the hills With the wind in your face

A A 
It feels good to be proud And be free and a race

G D 
That is part of a clan And to live on highlands

A A
And the air that you you breathe So pure and so clean 


When alone on the hills With the wind in your hair With a longing to feel Just to be free

A A
It is right to belive In the need to be free
A A
It┤s a time when you die And without asking why
G D
Can┤t you see what they do They are Grinding us down
A A
They are taking our land That belongs to the clans


Not alone whit a dream Just a want to be free whit a need to belong I am a clansman
