lyrics

9. MOTHER (version française adaptée par Kathia Rock)

Ce n’est pas un traduction du version orgininale en Inuktitut
This is not a translation of the original Inuktitut version

Lorsque je referme les yeux
Lorsque mes cris en moi résonnent
Lorqsu’ils deviennent sauvages
Siquttilaurtutit (Tu étais brisée)

Tu es mon feu, ma source de lumière
Je porte en moi, ces rêves millénaires
Cet héritage aux 1000 échos de rire

Au de-là de mes eaux troubles
À travers ton regard
J’ai vu tes os cassés
Et ta force de continuer

Tu es mon feu, ma source de lumière
Je porte en moi, ces rêves millénaires
Cet héritage aux 1000 échos de rire
Cet héritage aux 1000 échos de rire

English translation

You lost
What’s most precious to you
You were crushed
You were shattered

Even though, you persevered
Even though, you stood up
Even though, you healed

I look at you
I do what you do
You are my mother
I want to be like you

I want to stand like you with grace
I want to walk like you with grace
I want to walk with you with grace
I want to lead like you with grace
