Verse 1
Aji kegat anigidjowa,
Ickam anikijide.

Ki noda mikwamik sipiknak,
E madjia bonotc.

Ki nodan, ki nodan, ki nodan kijidjion sipi.
Ki wabadan, ki wabadan, ki wabadan moshkokokak sagikan
Moshkokak sagikan.

Verse 1
It’s soon time for everything to thaw,
It now begins to warm up.
The partridges outside they ruffle their wings,
Watch them as they do their dance.
The maple sap runs,
We work on making sugar.
Do you hear the ice running in the river,
As it moves and roars ?
Refrain
Do you hear, do you hear, do you hear the river running strong?
Do you see, do you see, do you see the lake rising high.
Verse 2
It’s soon time for everything to thaw,
It now begins to warm up.
The partridges outside they ruffle their wings,
Watch them as they do their dance
Refrain
Verse 3
The maple sap runs,
We work on making sugar.
Do you hear the ice running in the river,
As it moves and roars.
Refrain
Couplet 1
Il est bientôt temps que tout dégèle,
Le temps se réchauffe.
Les perdrix dehors battent des ailes,
Regarde-les danser.
La sève d'érable coule,
Nous faisons les sucres.
Entends-tu la glace couler dans la rivière,
Elle se déplace et rugit.
Refrain
Entends-tu, entends-tu, entends-tu la rivière couler à flots ?
Vois-tu, vois-tu, vois-tu le lac qui s'élève.
Il est bientôt temps que tout dégèle,
Le temps se réchauffe.
Les perdrix dehors battent des ailes,
Regarde-les danser.
Refrain
Couplet 3
La sève d'érable coule,
Nous faisons les sucres.
Entends-tu la glace couler dans la rivière,
Elle se déplace et rugit.
