/LYRICS/
I have been here since the moon was just a child
And the sea flowed like a crystal stream
The trees grew strong upon my mountains wild
And the sky was the bluest you ever seen
Bluer than the sky in an eagles dream
Telui’tijik na Unama’ki
(They call me Unama'ki)
Aqq tet weli-sankewo’ltipnik
(And they lived here in peace)
Maliama’tipnik pejita’tijek
(They took care of them when they arrived)
Katu wapa’qit awanta’sit
(But the white man forgets)
Ta’n tetuji-wulo’tasultisni’k
(How well they were treated by the Mi’kmaq)
Gach iasgair is méinneadair mar mhac
(Every fisherman and miner are like a son to me)
‘S dhe m’ stòras thug mi pailteas dhuibh gun dìth
(And I shared with them all kinds of my plentitude / abundance)
J’ai versé quelques larmes en fin de journée
(At the end of the day, I cried a few tears)
Pour ceux, au loin, qui se sont endormis
(For those who have passed on)
Is na creutairean aig muir a chaidh a dhìth.
(And the poor souls who were lost at sea)
Nos enfants ont voulu une nouvelle vie
(Our children wanted a new life)
Et se sont établis en amitié
(And have settled here in friendship)
Daonnan, mi ‘gan giùlain ‘na mo chridh’
(I always carry them in my heart)
An gàire is an ceòl ‘s an ám a thréig
(Their music and their laughter in times gone by)
Jamais ne seront-ils oubliés
(They will never be forgotten)
I am calling to my children come back home
Dha ‘n luchd-céilidh a thug spéis dhomh gu mór
(And the travellers that came and fell in love)
Npilultoqsip apajita’yoq
(I will heal you upon your return)
Alors que l’aigle surveille là-haut
(While the eagle watches high above)
Ela’toql alasutmaqnn Wa’so’q
(He takes the prayers to Heaven)

Very well done! So inspiring to see music, dance, and culture still spreading so much positivity in a trying time!
Oh my, that brought tears!! Our gift to Nova Scotia is J.P. Cormier!!! And he's ours!!!!!
The mix and diversity of the culture in Cape Breton Unama'ki is wonderful, every single piece is so valuable, but the meeting is the big diamond among the pieces of jewelry, what makes you so unique. Greetings from Lake Constance, Germany (All my respect to you, ABMHS and you, Carter Chiasson, for great work.)

i know I'm pretty off topic but does anyone know of a good website to stream new tv shows online ?
Beautiful! This made me miss my home Cape Breton. Dam crying!! WELL DONE!
We are friends from across the way in Oregon, USA. This song is so fantastic. It captures some of the beauty of the diverse peoples who live and work together on the magnificent Cape Breton Island. The Creator has definitely blessed your land. You are all precious in His sight. Looking forward to returning again after everything settles down. God bless you all!!
Absolutely beautiful! The voices, the music, the scenery, the faces, and the message! Fills my heart with pride in the beautiful island I grew up in and with hope in the midst of these winter pandemic days... thank you so much to everyone involved and for sharing 💗
Beautiful expression of culture and positive human spirit!
It's so beautiful I cried.
Absolutely fantastic!! Talk about making me homesick for Cape Breton!
Sending you all my best wishes from Scotland with thanks for such a beautiful song :-) 🏴 ♥️ 🇨🇦
You guys are all fantastic. What a lovely song and a lovely production. I loved all of the outdoor backgrounds and made me think so much of my wonderful times in Nova Scotia and Cape Breton
This is AMAZING. Congratulations to everyone involved!!!!!
Wow! No words...
This is beautiful on so many different levels! Well done!
This is the best thing I have seen or heard in quite some time. Thanks to all involved. Wela'lin. Go raibh maith agat. Merci.
It's a great remake on an already timeless classic. IMHO. I see he included some friends such as Colin Grant, Lucy MacNeil, and I believe Emma Stevens. Someone posted that it was out of sync. Maybe just a little but there are so many to sync up. I love all the traditional languages of Cape Breton and the dances. Great work.
I did recieve my FYM 66HD! Put in a K&K Dual system , 2 vol dials for undersaddle and the contact (3) pickups… OMG❤❤❤🤙🏽🎼 Played it six gigs a week average till dec 11m, 2023 … I needed to rest it as I saw fret wear😩 This is just a Killa of a guitar ! Mahalo to J.P. Cormier who eeviewed this Masterpiece…. And set my mind to a slow burn…. 3/27w/24 I looked at the current price online at ine dealer… my god! Itʻs cost has risen… I got mine for $2,399 ish…. No pick up…. about $400.00 for the K&K I wanted with installation…. Now itʻs at $2999. I do ʻt know if itʻs with pick up…. But Iʻd stll buy it if I did ʻt already have it! It is ine if my top guitars, I love it🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🙏🏼😁🎼❤❤❤ Aloha, Kekai Chock Kaikona Music Līhuʻe, Hawaiʻi😊

Mi’qmaq and Gaelic were the other two
when is this gonna be on spotify????
Who's playing the small pipes?
:)

Beautiful, but it’s too bad that the vocals often seem out of sync. It looks like you needed to adjust the frame rate of the videos to sync up with the audio better.
Family one love💙💙💙💫🪐
Beautiful!
