Hey, hey, watenay
Hey, hey, watenay
Hey, hey, watenay
Kay-o-kay-nah
Kay-o-kay-nah

English lyrics:
Sleep, sleep, little one
Sleep, sleep, little one
Sleep, sleep, little one
Now go to sleep, now go to sleep.

Note: the English lyrics are not a translation of the Ojibwa,
but they do get across the spirit of the original lullaby.
