Song Description
This is traditional Iroquois Lullaby in the Seneca dialect now almost completely lost. The original song only has the first 3 lines, and is normally chanted. I added the additional line channeling my Iroquois grandmother, who was the last one in a long line to sing the song.
Love is never Lost, and a lullaby is the highest expression of Love of Child.

Lyrics
Iroquois Lullaby (Seneca) 2016
Ho, Ho (lay lay)
Wa ta nay (little one)
Ki yo ke na (go to sleep)
Hato kha (see)
Na Enita (the moon)
Ha o k ha (listen)
Ki yo ke na (go to sleep)
Bridge:
Hat e no tha (sing)
Enita (moon)
Hat e no tha (sing)
Je sta e ya (darkness)
-Nick Fuse from Traditional Seneca Iroquois circa timeless.
