A-atana she was here.
A-atana I was dear.
She will never come again.
Chill my heart, O wind and rain.
A-atana she was here.
Hark, the wind asks “Hi-you?”
And I answer “A-coo,
Ustey with your bitter cold;
U-ga-sha, my love of old.”
Still the wind asks “Hi-you?”
“Hi-you?” I know not where.
A-oo, I hardly care.
Take it to the land of snow;
Take it where the stars all go.
“Hi-you?” I do not care.
It-sau-i did it all —
It-sau-i, proud and tall.
Tell her I have gone to fight.
Ask her if her heart is light.
It-sau-i did it all.
