VLog: Navajo Meaning of "Yeha-Noha (Wishes of Happiness & Prosperity)"

In my attempts to de-mystify the Navajo language, this video gives the meaning to the Navajo lyrics in the song "Yeha Noha (Wishes of Happiness and Prosperity)" by Sacred Spirit. The lyrics are actually the lyrics to a Navajo Shoe Game Song (Késhjéé' Sin), which is the Giant's Song. It is a genuine traditional Navajo song sung by Kee Chee Jake from Chinle, AZ. The song is compared to an unedited Shoe Game Song sung by the Klagetoh Singers. The generic lyrics to this shoegame song are: Yé'iitsoh jiní náá léi' Giant says over & over Chaał azditsih (yaa-héí-naa) Crying as he hits with the indicator stick Éí ga' That (in particular) Shaa ninánóh'aah, shitsóóké! You (both) give it back to me, my grandchildren! Níigo He says Chaał azditsih (yaa-héí-naa) crying as he hits with the indicator stick Note: When I made the video, I did not pluralize the "you" in the video. The phrase, "Shaa ninánóh'aah," means, "the BOTH of you!" To avoid confusion, I didn't pluralize as it isn't pluralized in English. Anywhoo, I hope you enjoyed this explanation of the meaning of this song! If you want to read about the shoe game story mentioned in the video with more details, it is available from Salina Bookshelf in the book entitled, "Day and Night, Jí̜ Dóó Tł'éé'," written by Nedra Emery. The song "Yeha Noha (Wishes of Happiness and Prosperity)" by Sacred Spirit, can be found on iTunes.
