Little Big Horn
Then everything fell silent and only the sound of drums echoed over the land
In clouds of dust, the victorious Sioux tribe disappears
And shreds of the star-spangled banner were blown by the wind over the hills
There, amid his soldiers – the general lies.
Jim Bridger said: "I had a dream last night
Beneath the Seventh Cavalry, the earth was reddened by blood
The Sioux tribe is brave and knows their land well
Why didn’t Custer heed those words of warning?"
Poi tutto tacque e solo qua e la la tribù' vittoriosa dei
Sioux scompariva in nuvole di polvere, e il vento soffiava
le strisce della bandiera stellata sulle colline, la tra i soldati
il generale giace.
Jim Bridger lo disse: "Stanotte ho sognato che sotto il
Settimo Cavalleria c'era il terreno rosso di sangue.
La tribu' dei Sioux e' coraggiosa e conosce bene la propria terra.
Perche' Custer non ha dato ascolto a quegli avvertimenti?"
Today, 150 years ago at Little Big Horn (Montana), the last coalition of Native Americans (Sioux, Cheyenne, Arapaho) defeated General Custer and his
Seventh Cavalry. It was a great victory, the greatest, but it was also the last and marked the end of the dream of freedom for the peoples of the American plains.
For those who don’t know anything about it...
