Since I am still in a Christmasy mood, here is the song "Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow! (Bíni' Ńchííl! Bíni' Ńchííl! Bíni' Ńchííl!)" sung in the Navajo language.
The song was originally written by lyricist Sammy Cahn and composed by Jule Styne in July 1945. This version was translated largely by Dr. Katherine Duncum into the Navajo language, but I changed a few words here and there. I hope you enjoy this song... Merry Christmas.
Lyrics:
Tł'óo'di t'óó báhádzidgo ńchííl
(It is snowing frightful outside)
Ndi t'óó nizhónígo kǫ'
(But there's a nice fire)
Doo háajigo deet'áazh da
(We're not going anywhere)
Bíni' ńchííl, bíni' ńchííl, bíni' ńchííl
(Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow)
T'ah doo yóó'íchíił dago
(The snow hasn't gone away)
Naadą́ą́' dilchxoshí éí níjaa'
(I brought some popcorn)
Doo hoot'íi da biniinaa
(Since the lighting is dim)
Bíni' ńchííl, bíni' ńchííl, bíni' ńchííl
(Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow)
Ałtsogo éí shidííts'ǫs
(Kiss me when all's done)
Yas biyi'go éí doo shíni' da
(But I don't want one in the snow)
Hazhó'ógo shíínítą'go
(But if you carefully hold me)
Howaó ná'iisdzíił dooleeł
(I'll be warm all the way home)
Kǫ' yę́ę k'adę́ę ałtso neestsiz
(The fire's almost burnt out)
Azhą́ doo shíni' da ndi
(Though I don't want it to)
Ayóó'áshííní'níigo
(You really loving me)
Bíni' ńchííl, bíni' ńchííl, bíni' ńchííl
(Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow)
I hope you enjoyed this rendition! :-)
