Last week for Family Home Evening, Mom passed out
the words to Grandma Helen’s Hopi translation of “Love at Home” to teach us.
Ti recorded Mom singing the first verse and chorus for Stephen’s benefit, so we figured we’d share the wealth.
Here are the lyrics:
LOVE AT HOME
Verse 1
Kuwanew qatsi tuyqawva
Nami’ nangwat yeswqo
Sosoy doodoki sonkiwa
Nami’ nangwat yeswqo
Pasi’ nang qatsi aniwti
Sosoy himu naago’na
*Halayawng unangway qatsi hoyta
Nami’ nangwat yeesiwqo
CHORUS:
KEE NA WIT
NAMI’ NANGWA
*
NAMI’ NANGWA YESIWQO
Verse 2
Kiinawit haalay yeesiwa
Nami’ nangwat yeswqo
Itsivu unangwgtwya sulawu
Nami’ nangwat yeesiwqo
Itamupiq siitala
Tuuwaqalvoq sonwyti
*Sonwy qatsi pasiwta
Nami’ nangwat yeesiwqo
Verse 3
Ove itana synuma
Nami’ nangwat yeswqo
Tuuwqalvoq haalaywa
Nami’ nangwat yeesiwqo
Muumunanawgt tawhoyoyota
Tokpela suupan taalawngwayta
*Ove itana synuma
Nami’ nangwat yeesiwqo
And here’s Mom singing:
Love at Home-MP3
Thanks for posting, Josh, but the link to Mom’s recording didn’t work for us. Is anyone else having problems opening it? What should we do?
I noticed that, and called Jere about it, but I haven’t heard back from him yet…
It should be fixed now! It worked for me.
Cool, Josh! Thanks for sharing!
