Navajo Puppy Song (Lyrics & Translation)

[ravenstar100]

ahh hes so sweet! gorgeous puppy, look after each other.

[otakumo]

It sounds a lot like the tune of Hush Little Baby for a while, then it changes, but later it starts sounding like it again.

[jacoblgames]

Even though I did not grow up at a Rez school, this song sounds very familiar. It must be the tune.

[MsSkeeter1988]

I agree with Kaoruneko16. I learned this song when i was in pre-school. i love it. used to sing it with my grandma too. =)

[Newbreedjerkz123]

I REMEMBER THIS SONG! I learned it at Pre-school in Nageezi by Nageezi Chapter house

[kaoruneko16]

Oh, by the way, I was taught the dog's name was "Kizh" which means "Spot," instead of "Kii" which is "boy."

[kaoruneko16]

My old teacher, Dollie L Yazzie, made a recording of this song. She passed away not long ago.

[krokodil191]

[theinsanelogic]

[NavahoAsdzani]

@theinsanelogic I'm Dine, too! ;o) though I called myself Navaho - the others should know what I am because I am proud of it!

[adoremelucky]

Awwww, my bf's niece is always singing this song.

[232stella]

Awww this song is my favorite, my lil brother sings it to his puppy :D

[purespirit9]

Pretty good!

[hopichick13]

apache n navajo;s sound lik dey have da same language. idk but dis songs sound purty nice.

[dudeslayer07]

@hopichick13 Dialects Athabaskan-it's so funny when both Fluent speaking Navajo and Apache come together they sound like the other tribe is speaking broken of theirs.(like hearing someone speaking broken English) A lot of the word meanings have been switched around. And plurals have been switched around too. It's pretty funny.

[kayelleshepherd]

i remember singing this as a class in preschool :)

[GANG5TERLOVER5]

[starwarschick1]

This is a really cute song!! I was just curious, what does the chorus translate as?

[trobertson84]

@starwarschick1 Its doesnt really have a translation.. it would be like saying "lalala, do-re-mi, etc.."

I learned this song back in boarding school at Shonto, AZ; the lyrics were a tad different. However its great to hear it again, I'd like to teach my (city) kids this song. THANKS!!

[slick881]

[mookiecookiebits]

I never learned this, I was born in 1988 so I was outside of the range. :(

[ashikeeyazhi]

I learn this song in Pre-School in Tonalea, LOL! Thanx for posting it up on youtube.

[native0mutton]

Ahh, this song. I can't help but sing along. Kudos to the singer.

[Monetvalley]

One of the first songs I remember learning at BIA's Indian Club. I still remember it to this day! But just noticed the difference that you said his stomach is round.... while I remember the lyrics as 'he eats too much and he drags his stomach' (translate that in Navajo). Cute song, need to have my kids learn that too. Thanks for making it simple.

[Ljuuroku]

ha ha learned this song in kindergarden. i used to sing it to my nali all the time.

[cougartracks]

Loved it vnvhe Osceola.

[CookingEasyWithMera]
