Translation:

My Grandfather is from Hartley Bay.
I am of Tsimshian Blood.
(repeated)

I am of Tsimshian blood.
The Tsimshian live without fear; this is what our law tells us.

The Chief's heart is sad, yet he is without fear.
The Raven's heart is sad, yet it is without fear.

The Raven [is without fear]
The Wolf [is without fear]
The Raven [is without fear]
The Eagle [is without fear]

The Chief's heart is sad, yet he is without fear.
The Raven's heart is sad, yet it is without fear.

This is what our law teaches us.
This is what our ancestors teach us.
