Eskimo Song
I'm filled with joy
when the day dawns quietly
over the roof of the sky.
Life was wonderful
in winter.
But did winter make me happy?
No, I always worried
about hides for boot-soles
and for boots;
and if there'd be enough
for all of us.
Yes, I worried constantly.
Life was wonderful
in summer.
But did summer make me happy?
No, I always worried
about reindeer skins and rugs for the platform.
Yes, I worried constantly.
Life was wonderful
when you stood at your fishing-hole
on the ice.
But was I happy waiting at my fishing-hole?
No, I was always worried
for my little hook,
in case it never got a bite.
Yes, I worried constantly.
Life was wonderful
when you danced in the feasting-house.
But did this make me any happier?
No, I always worried
I'd forget my song.
Yes, I worried constantly.
Life was wonderful...
And still I feel joy
each time the day-break
whitens the dark sky
each time the sun
climbs over the roof of the sky.
