Awasi-Waabang
Ni-miskwiiw shigwa ni-wiisagendam bagidanaamowaan . . .
Gaawiin ninisidotanzii, gaawiiin ninisidotanzii
Wiihi'ishin bangii eta
Gego zegiziken aki ningokwan
Bijiinaago, dibikong, noongom igo shigwa awasi-waabang
Ni-miskwiiw shigwa ni-wiisagendam bagidanaamowaan . . .
Ashebizon, daga gibichiin shigwa wiindamawishin aaniindi ezhaayan?
Gi-ga -wiijiiwin daabida shigwa awasi-waabang
Zebaa ginibo bimaadis apii kamawin anaming binesiikaa
Ni-miskwiiw shigwa ni-wiisagendam bagidanaamowaan . . .
Bidoon ninjii daga shigwa bizhishig gi- zaagi'in
Noongom igo shigwa awasi-waabang!
Awasi-waabang!!
(Here's the translation from Saulteaux)
All the days after tomorrow
I am bleeding and it hurts to breathe
I do not understand, I do not understand
Help me just a little bit
To not be afraid of the overcast world
Yesterday, last night today and the days after tomorrow
I am bleeding and it hurts to breathe
Back up, please stop and tell me where you are going?
I'll go with you, always and the days after tomorrow
This morning I died when you cried under the thunderstorm
I am bleeding and it hurts to breathe
Give me your hand and I'll always love you
Today and all the days after tomorrow!
All the days after tomorrow!!
