Roman orthography

Ilinnut qaivunga nalugama
Ilinnut uqaagama tusaavingnga

Asiulirquurama, nalulitsiarama
Ilinnut tutsiaqunga kappiasugama
Ilinnut tunivunga Ataniraa

Asiqannginavit, atjiqannginavit
Asiqannginavit, atjiqannginavit

Ilinnut manivunga Guutiga
Uqumaigijakka qaitakka Jiisusigaa

English translation

To You, I come for I don’t know what to do
To You, I’m talking to, can you hear me?

I think I’m lost, I really don’t know what to do

To You, I pray because I’m afraid
To You, I give myself, my Lord

There is none like You, You have no match
There is none like You, You have no match

To You I surrender, my God
My burdens I give to you, my Jesus

French translation

Je viens à toi, car je ne sais pas quoi faire
Je te parle; tu entends ma voix?

Je crois que je suis perdue; je ne sais vraiment pas quoi faire

Je t’adresse mes prières, car j’ai peur
Je me donne à toi, Seigneur

Il n’existe personne comme toi, tu es unique
Il n’existe personne comme toi, tu es unique

Je me soumets à toi, Seigneur
Je dépose mon fardeau auprès de toi, Jésus
