Come be with me!
Eehl hl díi náanggang!
Come play with me!

Áayaad luudgán.
The waves are breaking on the shore today.
I can feel the ocean.
No matter where I am on this earth.
I hear her calling to me.
She says,
Come be with me!
Come play with me!
Come sing with me!
I can feel her sweet salty breeze
All over me.
I can be in the city,
I feel her breeze.
I can climb to a mountaintop,
I hear her calling to me
Come be with me, come play with me, come sing with me!
Come be with me, come play with me, come sing with me!
