I am ojibway and I understand some of the language in cree...our language is very similar...thank you JESUS...🙌☝️❤ a very anointed song about the father...Amen!
I don't know if I commented before. But the very first time this song was sung, was in 1985 when my Grandfather Joachim McKay passed on. My cousin, who was 3 or 4 years older than me, picked up the guitar and literally made up this song. It was so beautiful, that my late Mum, asked him to sing it again, and she recorded on one of those old cassette recorders. I have since forgotten my cousins' name, but I know that he too passed on. When you have the chance to meet your extended family. Always do your best to remember their names. To my McKay & Blacksmith family's kapeh kiskisi kipapanowuk.
I remember hearing this song for the first time when my grandfather passed away in September 1985. It was written by a young man from Oxford House, Manitoba. I've since forgotten his name, but he was only 16 or 17 at the time. Beautiful song, I'm glad that it has touched so many other people.
every time i play this song i think of you and miss you like crazy grandpa douglas chapman. my babies would of loved you so much. how you were a good man in this world 😢 ❤ love you D.C
Lyrics below...Wow, 9 years since my first comment. It seems like yesterday that we said farewell to my Grandfather...and now my own Father. I've taken the liberty of translating this song in Cree, for anyone out there who would like to read the lyrics as you learn it yourself. Maybe some day, you'll sing it in tribute to your Moshum, or papa, or uncle. Nipapa Peyako ekikisaypayak, Eywaniskayan Niwapamaw nipapa, eyapit, Naspich eymiyo nakosiht, ispimihk eytahpit.

40 years already, seem like it was just yesterday when I seen you drive away. I never had the chance to say goodbye. Love your parents because I never seen our fathers body, just a casket to remind us he was gone.
When my dad passed on, my mom tried to give him mouth to mouth to bring him back, she was saying Joseph don't leave me, I had to pull away from dad and tell her you have to let him go hes suffering to much, he had Parkinsons disease, when I think about it from time to time it breaks my heart I can still hear her voice I love then both so much it hurts at times
