Algonquin Water Song Phonetic Lyrics
Sing four times, each time facing one of the four directions in this order:
East, South, West, North
Nee bee wah bow
En die en
Aah key mis kquee
Nee bee wah bow
Hey ya hey ya hey ya hey
Hey ya hey ya hey ya ho
“We sing this song like a lullaby. The song means the water is the life's blood of our mother the earth. Water is the life's blood of our own bodies”
— Grandma Nancy
