Ya-hi-ye ne-he hega
 Hega hega ya-hi-ye hega
 Ya-hi-ye ne-he hega

 Steady as the beating drum
 Singing to the cedar flute
 Seasons go and seasons come
 Bring the corn and bear the fruit

 By the waters sweet and clean
 Where the mighty sturgeon lives
 Plant the squash and reap the bean
 All the earth our mother gives

 Oh Great Spirit, hear our song
 Help us keep the ancient ways
 Keep the sacred fire strong
 Walk in balance all our days
 Seasons go and seasons come
 Steady as the beating drum
 Plum to seed to bud to plume
 (Hega hega ya-hi-ye hega)
 Steady as the beating drum

 Hega hega ya-hi-ye hega
 Ya-hi-ye ne-he hega
