Geiriau:
Mae'r tir fu i ni'n gartref
Yn nwylo'r milwyr gwyn
Machludodd haul ein pobl
I'w fedd tu hwnt i'r bryn
A heno wedi'r teithio'r pell
Hiraethwn am ein tiroedd gwell

Yng ngwersyll Bosque Redondo
Yn awr mae'r Navaho
A minnau Manuelito
Gwelais ddiwedd bro

Cerddasom dri chan milltir
Cysgasom dan y lloer
Diffoddwyd fflam ein hysbryd
Gan storm o eira oer
Nid oes ni fydd ymgeledd bryd
A chartref mwy i'r Navaho yn y byd

Yng ngwersyll Bosque Redondo
Yn awr mae'r Navaho
A minnau Manuelito
Gwelais ddiwedd bro

Yng ngwersyll Bosque Redondo
Yn awr mae'r Navaho
A minnau Manuelito
Gwelais ddiwedd bro


Lyrics/Translation:
The land that was once our home
Is in the hands of the white soldiers
The sun set on our people
To its grave beyond the hill
And tonight after the long journey
We grieve for our better land

In the camp of Bosque Redondo
Now live the Navaho
And I, Manuelito
I saw the end of an age

We walked three hundred miles
And slept under a silver moon
The flame of our spirit
Was extinguished by a storm of snow
There is no more, never will be a safe haven
Or a home for the Navaho in the world

In the camp of Bosque Redondo
Now live the Navaho
And I, Manuelito
I saw the end of an age

In the camp of Bosque Redondo
Now live the Navaho
And I, Manuelito
I saw the end of an age
