(A Veteran's Memorial Song)
 
 
Kola weksuyeye kola weksuyelo heyeye
(Friend) (I remember) (Friend) (I remember)
Kola weksuyeye kola iyapelo heyeyeye
(Friend) (I remember) (Friend) (They have gone)
Makazitomniya akicita ye na he owakiye
(All over the world) (Soldier) (Went)(That) (I’m helping)
Tuwesecekun kola weksuye kola iyapelo heyeyeye
(To whom it may concern) (Friend) (Remember) (Friend) (They have gone)
Makazitomniya akicitayena he owakiyelo heyeyeyo
(All over the world) (Soldiers went)(I’m helping)
 
Free Translation: We are honoring all those relatives who have gone to protect our freedom. (Individual’s Lakota name) I remember my friend. They have been all around the world. (E. Bullhead 2012)
