It’s true Shádhël
The stories they tell
for you ...
Southern Tutchone song c.1900 about going home to Shádhël
(Champagne) interpreted and transcribed by Daniel Tlen
What ever gave you
the yearning
To drive a thousand
miles of dusty road
And what ever gave
you the feeling
To come up here to
the land of gold ...
Song written 1978 by Yukon musicians Jim Vautour and Manfred Janssen
