Éjajibtebyan éwabdeman i gon ébgeshnon i ngom
As I sit today watching the snow fall
Égi yajmowat gi kékyambnek mégwe pi
This is what the elders told us a long time ago
Gi widmowat wa je zhewébek shote pi
They told us this would happen hereabouts
Ode se she éwidmoyak gode wpenojéyek
This is what we tell our children
I ye ode énendemyan éjajibtebyan odo pi
This is what I think about as I sit here at this time
Ékiwadziyan énendemyan ode
I feel lonely thinking about this
Nangodgen ébaknegazoyan ébidnendemyan
Sometimes I am a prisoner of my thoughts
I gon ébgeshét éwabdeman égme pon
I watch the snow fall every year
Éngezot éwabdeman i gon éngweshkat
And I watch it melt away
Éwabdeman ni waskonédok ébaknegazowat
I watch the flowers open themselves
Éwabdeman émbowat iw pi epij zhatémget
I watch them die when it becomes hot
Éwabdeman Ojigenang éwidmoshet iw pi wa zhewébek
I watch the Fisher Star and he tells me when this will happen
Igwan gi kékyajek gi widmoashek ngotek
The elders told us these things at one time
Megwa ngom éjibtebyan éwabdeman ébgeshet i gon
So I sit today and watch the snow fall
