MY SONGS
My sons (Sakay Ottawa)
​
Me with my sons, we play.
Me with my sons, we have fun.
Me with my sons, we laugh.
We are all together at home (territory).
My sons that I love, my guys.
Me with my sons, we hunt.
Me with my sons, we walk.
Me with my sons, we are happy.
We are all together at home (territory).
My sons, my guys.

​
​
This is where (Sakay Ottawa)
​
Where we have always been,
we will follow our path together
walking as we have always done.
That's where we'll all go together.
This is where we will go forever.
This is where we will all go together.
This is where we will go forever.
We must always show our children the right path so that they can flourish.
This is where we will all go together.
This is where we will go forever.

Your first tears (Sakay Ottawa)
​
I heard you cry when I could not do anything to join you, to console you and love you. ************************************************** ************************************************** *******
I can not wait to see you, everything seems different from life when I think of you. You'll probably show me a lot, that you'll teach me a lot. On my side I will show you what I know and I can not wait to see you.
I can not wait to see you.

​
Come join me (Kyra Shaughnessy & S. Ottawa)
​
Come join me in silence
Far from the past and far from time
Without fear and without history.
And nothing separates us
Come join me in the dance
Dance the pride of being together
With our differences, our similarities
Together we are stronger
Come join me…
We will go beyond all that we have known
We will chase the sun
Come join me and dance together.
Come join me and sing together.
Come join me = Pe ntwamici

Together (Alain Gignac & Sakay Ottawa)
​
A land a house
And what happens the seasons
Peikw aski peikw mikwam
Miparino e aistakoki
I would walk the earth
and I will share it with you.
She will be without borders,
like a brother I would love you
You will come and we will sing together.
A river, a canoe
together we will row.
Peikw sipi, peikw tciman
Mamo ki ka mickanano
To each his customs,
to each his songs
I'll sing you mine,
I will listen to your passions
You will come and we will sing together.

Territory (Steve Flamand and Sakay Ottawa)
​
One morning I listen to a message (on the radio),
an elder spoke of the territory.
Our Grandfather said that our territory is essential (sacred).
Let's keep it safe, let's take care of it with peace of mind, it's our territory. Our territory.
Our grandfather tells how they lived in the past at home (in their territories).
In their territories.
Our Grandfather said, I count on the new generation to ensure that we always respect and safeguard our territory (our heritage).
Tell them that we have never surrendered our territory,
that we have never sold,
we never traded it,
just as we have ruled
otherwise with respect to our territory.

​
​
I remember (Sakay Ottawa)
​
I remember my grandfather,
I remember my grandmother
and everything they often did when I was young. I remember my grandfather.
When I think of them,
of everything they did
to show us love.
My grandfather, my grandmother.
Grandpa, grandmother we love you.
I say thank you!
To have shown us love.
To have shown us respect.
My grandfather, my grandmother.
​
​
​
​
​
​
When I think of them (Pinaskin Ottawa)
​
I want you to share what I think
when I remember our grandfathers and
of their friends in our community
being all between family.
Great Spirit helps us reach the place where our grandfathers live. Between them, they
Great Spirit, we would be so happy
to see our grandfathers again.
Once I saw the sun,
once I have known the sun and
life, once I would have lived it.
Once I saw the sun,
once I have known the sun and
life, once I would have lived it.
Great Spirit helps us reach the place where our grandfathers live. They, them.
Great Spirit, we would be so happy
to see our grandfathers again.
Our grandfathers.

If only you knew (Sakay Ottawa)
​
Did you know?
The first time I saw you,
I knew right away in my heart that I loved you.
Did you know?
When I saw your smile and your eyes
have enlightened my life and that's why I always feel so good.
Never forget that I always think of you when I do not see you. If only you knew how much I love you and all that I feel for you.
Did you know?
All I tell you about my respect towards you

​
I hope (Sakay Ottawa)
​
I'm walking on my right path
I would not give up
I really hope to make it happen
where I want to go,
I always walk.
I want to keep walking
in my path
I would not be discouraged
I hope with ardor
to get where I want to go.
I want to arrive safely to rest well.
To stop and look at my path
so that I can honor my passage.
All I have lived in my life.

Viens me rejoindre (Kyra Shaughnessy & Sakay Ottawa)
​
Viens me rejoindre dans le silence
Loin du passé et loin du temps
Sans peur et sans histoire.
Et plus rien qui nous sépare
Viens me rejoindre dans la danse
Danser la fierté d’être ensemble
Avec nos différences, nos ressemblances
Ensemble nous sommes plus forts
Viens me rejoindre…
pe n’twamici
On ira au-delà de tout ce qu’on a connus
On chassera le soleil
Pe ntwamici mamo nimitan
Pe ntwamici mamo nikamotan
Viens me rejoindre

Une terre une maison

Je marcherais la terre
Et je te partagerais
Elle sera sans frontière
Comme un frère je t’aimerais

Une rivière un canot
Ensemble nous ramerons
Peikw sipi peikw tciman

À chacun ses coutumes
À chacun ses chansons
Je te chanterais les miennes
J’écouterais tes passions
Pe icakan mamo kika, ka pa nikamonano
