Here is a song that my 5th graders sang today in their Yupik class. They sang for 40 minutes and at the end I said, lets record that one. You know. That one. I have a limited Yupik vocabulary, so they went back and found the right one. I wanted this song, because they genuinely seemed happy to sing it and sang it louder than any other. The pictures are from last winter. Right know we have zero snow. zero.
Hallelujah Maligciqaq
(Chorus)
Hallelujah maligciqaqa Jesus tumikun
Elliin maryarciqanga (ciunerkamnun)
Ayauciqanga nunakamnun-llu-pakmavet
Hallelujah maligciqaqa Jesus
1st verse
Alainat pelluciqut mani nunami
atunqigngaunateng yani
iquani atumangailameng,
Hallelujah maligciqaqa Jesus.
(Chorus)
2nd verse
Jesus qanellruuq tumkauniluni
ilumulria yuullerkaq
kina taingaituq wangkun taugaam
Hallelujah maligciqaqa Jesus
(Chorus)
3rd verse
Jesus qanellruuq qanerluni
ataam whi taiciqua
teguyarturluki wiinga yugkanka
Hallelujah maligciqaqa Jesus.
(Chorus)
I just came across your blog after reading the Tundra Drums article about Tim. We met this summer -- I'm one of the folks from Ohio (and have Nebraska roots) who visits Quinhagak every summer doing basketball camps and Vacation Bible School. Great post about Tim's experience, and I'm enjoying your blog.
