Translated by Howard Kimewon, Margaret Noori and Madeline Wemigwans. Sung by Margaret Noori.

Way waya hey ha waya hey ha waya-ho way ah ho

Way waya hey ha waya hey ha waya-ho way ah ho

Wayo way ya-hey hi ya-ho way hio

Wayo way ya heyo

Nkweshkoodaadida ekobiiyag.

(Let's meet by the water.)

Gabe dibik kaa nagamomi.

(We will sing all night.)

Nkweshkoodaadidaa ekobiiyag.

(Let's meet by the water.)

Name anangoons kaa dewegimi.

(We will drum under the stars.)

Kaa waabmaanaa mooshkineaapkizid dibik giizis.

(We will see the full moon.)

Epichii bagosendamaang.

(As we seek guidance.)

Way waya hey ha waya hey ha waya-ho way ah ho

Wayo way ya-hey hi ya-ho way hio

Wayo way ya heyo
