Joining the Ancestors
'Eyoohiinken che'eenaxre
(Our relative we sing)
'Eyoohiinken 'ekweenaxre
(Our relative we take care of)
'Eyoohiinken tehoovet'a xaa
(Our relative you are well)
'Eyooshuune mochoova xaa
(Our heart is with you)
The ashes of cremation
Carried by the smoke
Return you to creation
Where your spirit is never alone
The essence of who you are
Returns to the stars
That great night sky, where our people lie
Your final journey seen through
Though it wasn't my time to go
We'll meet again I know
The ancestors are calling me home
From our birth to death
Even to the very last breath
The ancestors are guiding me home
From which we came, to where we go
Guiding the spirit home
To stand beside the ancient ones
To witness generations to come
The essence of who you are
Returns to the stars
That great night sky, where our people lie
Your final journey seen through
Though it wasn't my time to go
We'll meet again I know
The ancestors are calling me home
From our birth to death
Even to the very last breath
The ancestors are guiding me home
'Eyoochoochon 'eyoohiinken
(Welcome our relative [our eyes see your eyes])
Hamiiro'a mii? (Where are you going?)
'Eyoo hevuuchok 'ekwaa, 'eyoo'ooken
(We wait for you here, our resting place)
Kimaa'aa 'eyooking'aro
(Come into our house)
'Ahaavkomen kiva
(The last old house at the edge)
Xaroochot (The gathering place)
Xaxaayve tokuunga'ro
(Where the mountains meet the heavens)
Horuura'
Yaraarkomokreme' (We remember)
'Eyoohiinkmo honuukvetmo (Our ancestors)
'Achuumechmo (The departed ones)
Though it wasn't my time to go
We'll meet again I know
The ancestors are calling me home
From our birth to death,
Even to the very last breath
The ancestors are guiding me home
(Our relative we sing)
'Eyoohiinken 'ekweenaxre
(Our relative we take care of)
'Eyoohiinken tehoovet'a xaa
(Our relative you are well)
'Eyooshuune mochoova xaa
(Our heart is with you)
The ashes of cremation
Carried by the smoke
Return you to creation
Where your spirit is never alone
The essence of who you are
Returns to the stars
That great night sky, where our people lie
Your final journey seen through
Though it wasn't my time to go
We'll meet again I know
The ancestors are calling me home
From our birth to death
Even to the very last breath
The ancestors are guiding me home
From which we came, to where we go
Guiding the spirit home
To stand beside the ancient ones
To witness generations to come
The essence of who you are
Returns to the stars
That great night sky, where our people lie
Your final journey seen through

Even to the very last breath
The ancestors are guiding me home
