We Were All Wounded At Wounded Knee

Redbone

Transposer:

Intro We were all wounded at wounded knee. You and me We were all wounded at wounded knee. You and me In the name of manifest destiny.You and me you and me you and me verse 1 They made us many promises but always broke their word They penned us in like Buffalo Drove us like a heard And finally on the reservation We were going for our preservation We were all wiped out by the seventh Calvary.      You and me you and me We were all wounded at wounded knee. You and me We were all wounded at wounded knee You and me In the name of.......manifest destiny You and me you and me you and me. verse 2 Now we make our promises we won’t break our word Well sing sing sing out our story Till the truth is heard There’s a whole new generation which will dream of veneration Who were not wiped out by the seventh Calvary. You and me you and me We were all wounded at wounded knee. You and me We were all wounded at wounded knee-You and me We were all wounded by wounded knee

La chanson évoque les blessures et les promesses non tenues qui ont marqué l'histoire des peuples autochtones américains, notamment lors du massacre de Wounded Knee. Elle rappelle comment ces communautés ont été poussées à vivre dans des réserves, tout en étant traitées de manière injuste par ceux qui prônaient une idée de « destin manifeste ». Cependant, elle évoque aussi l'espoir, suggérant que les nouvelles générations s'unissent pour raconter leur histoire et défendre la vérité, sans céder à l'oubli. Le contexte de cette œuvre est profondément ancré dans l'histoire des États-Unis, particulièrement celle des Amérindiens au 19ème siècle. Wounded Knee est le symbole de la violence infligée à ces populations et de la résistance qui les anime. C'est une mémoire collective qui continue d'influencer les luttes pour la reconnaissance et la justice aujourd'hui.
