I am, we are people of the snow, I am, we are people of the snow, mountain people

I am the place of high treeless plains, the Delegate Mission, the place where the waters meet, mountain people

I am the sounding ground, the clear waters, the place of making snow, mountain people

I am where the stars come from, the place of sharp stones, mountain people

Snowy, snowy, snowy, snowy mountains

Snowy, snowy, snowy, snowy mountains
