Diamantta Spaillit, song by Mari Boine Persen (saami original)

Lyrics: Karen Anne Buljo
Music: Svein Schultz / Mari Boine

Stuorra ruovde stalut leat ollen deike
si ruvget ja boltot ja boltot
ohcet min diamantta spailliha

Stuorra ruovde stalut leat ollen deike
si ruvget ja boltot ja boltot
ohcet min diamantta spailliha

Ciehkkat diamantta spaillit
Ciehkkat diamantta spaillit
Ciehkkat ciehkkat ulddaid ellui

Reindeer Of Diamond (english version)

Big roaring beasts skeletons of steel
have found their way to our land
They are digging and digging looking for our reindeer of diamond

Big giant beasts with greedy mouths are here
Run to your sacred place reindeer of diamond
Run don’t let them find you

Flee reindeer of diamond  
Flee reindeer of diamond  
Run don’t let them find you
