Pawnee Tribal Hymn
Behold! Our Mother Earth is lying here.
Behold! She gives of her fruitfulness.
Truly her power she gives us.
Give thanks to Mother Earth who lies here.
Behold on Mother Earth the growing fields!
Behind the promise of her fruitfulness!
Truly her power she gives us.
Give thanks to Mother Earth who lies here.
Behold on Mother Earth the spreading trees!
Behold the promise of her fruitfulness!
Truly, her power she giveth to us,
Give thanks to Mother Earth who lieth here!
Behold on Mother Earth the running streams!
Behold the promise of her fruitfulness!
Truly, her power she giveth to us,
Give thanks to Mother Earth who lieth here!

Spanish translation by Elena Rubio Lara:
Contemplen! Nuestra Madre Tierra reposa aquí.
Contemplen! Ella brinda fecundidad.
Verdaderamente su poder nos brinda.
Da gracias a la Madre Tierra que reposa aquí.
Contemplen en la Madre Tierra los campos de cultivo!
Tras la promesa de fecundidad!
Verdaderamente su poder nos brinda.
Da gracias a la Madre Tierra que reposa aquí.
Contemplen en la Madre Tierra los árboles frondosos!
Contemplen la promesa de fecundidad!
Verdaderamente su poder nos brinda.
Da gracias a la Madre Tierra que reposa aquí!
Contemplen en la Madre Tierra los arroyos corriendo!
Contemplen la promesa de fecundidad!
Verdaderamente su poder nos brinda.
Da gracias a la Madre Tierra que reposa aquí!
