First Bear Song - Cherokee
He-e! Ani'-Tsa'guhi, Ani'-Tsa'guhi, akwandu'li e'lanti' ginun'ti,
Ani'-Tsa'guhi, Ani'-Tsa'guhi, akwandu'li e'lanti' ginun'ti--Yu! He-e! The
Ani'-Tsa'guhi, the Ani'-Tsa'guhi, I want to lay them low on the ground,
The Ani'-Tsa'guhi, the Ani'-Tsa'guhi, I want to lay them low on the
ground,--Yû!
The bear hunter starts out each morning fasting and does not eat until near
evening. He sings this song as he leaves camp, and again the next morning,
but never twice the same day.
