Pane Igwa (Forever, by Shania Twain)

G'nikaan	gaa mozhain	ezhi	dawenmiyin	epiichi	mijigoozhiyin
In your arms	I feel	how	you want me	while	you hold me
In your arms I can still feel the way you want me when you hold me

Geyabi	noondaanan	ikidowinan	epiichi	gaaskanooziyin
Still	I hear	the words	while	you whispered
I can still hear the words you whispered when you told me

Pane igwa	maampii	n'gaa aayaa	g'nikaan
Always	here	I will be	in your arms
I can stay right here forever in your arms

[Chorus:]

Gaye wiika g'da bigejiwebinisino
And there ain't no way I'm lettin' you go now

Kaa gwe igwa . . . Kaa gwe igwa
And there ain't no way and there ain't no how

Gaye wiika n'gaa waamdaaziin giizhigak
I'll never see that day....

Pane igwa kaa ganooinmin miinwash pane igwa
'Cause I'm keeping you forever and for always

Ensa giizhigak kaa ganiwendimi
We will be together all of our days

Ensa gizheb n'waamdan washkoban dengwe . . . pane igwa
Wanna wake up every morning to your sweet face . . . always

Geyabi noondan g'de mdo'isek ensa jiimiyin
In your heart I can still hear a beat for every time you kiss me

Gikendaan minik emessniiyin epichi eyaaswaan
And when we're apart, I know how much you miss me

Moshton epiichi g'zaagidiing
I can feel your love for me in your heart

(Repeat Chorus)

G'shkiinzhigan geyabi n'waabmaa bezhig aapchigwa zaagid
In your eyes I can still see the look of the one who really loves me

Bezhig aapchigwa zaagit
The one who wouldn't put anything else in the world above me

Geyabi igwa n'mooshton epichi zaagiin
I can still see love for me in your eyes

(Repeat Chorus)
