I Have A Fawn

SSA Octavo

Come, Sing a Song With Me
    
    Notes From the Arranger
    
    
    
    Hello, and thank you for your interest in this SSA version of the
  traditional Unitarian hymn, Come, Sing a Song With Me.
    
    My goal in arranging this was to put an American song into a multicultural
  context, rather than hijack and arrange a traditional song from another
  culture.
    
    To that end, three verses of the song are in languages other than English.
  I chose languages that are important to the United States: Lenape, which
  represents the people native to this land; Swahili, representing people who
  were brought here against their will; and Spanish, to represent the many
  people who have come here seeking a happier and safer life.
    
    Sadly, many Native American languages have been lost, so I am deeply
  grateful to the New Jersey Sand Hill Band of Lenape and Cherokee Indians for
  their help with the translation and pronunciation of the second verse.
    
    Pal, wichei lashimwi, nteli wahan kte roughly translates to Come, dream
  a dream with me, that I might know your mind.
    
    It is pronounced, Pahl, wee-CHEI la-SHEEM-wee, nDEL-ee wa-HAN
  k-TEI.
    
    Words ending with ei sound somewhere between ay and eh. For examples
  of pronunciation, visit https://www.talk-lenape.org.
    
    The third verse, Njoo, pamoja na mvua, ili nipate kukujua, roughly
  translates to, Come, walk in rain with me, that I might know your mind. The
  original languages of African slaves who were forceably brought to the United
  States have also mainly changed or been lost, so I chose Swahili because it
  is derived from older languages and is currently the most commonly spoken
  African tongue. 
    
    The line is pronounced, Njoa, pah-moh-ja mVOO-ah, i-li ni-PAH-teh
  ku-ku-JU-ah. 
    
    The first word is tricky to write out; it sounds similar to the English
  word jaw, but an oh sound comes before the aw.
    
    The last verse loosely translates to Come, share a rose with me, that I
  might know your mind. (With all the translations, I had to do my best to
  make the words fit the music and the meaning, so they are not exact.)
    
    The Spanish line is: Ven, comparte una rosa con me, para que conozca tu
  mente.
    
    It is pronounced: Ven, cohm-PAR-te U-na ROH-za cohn meh, para kei
  coh-NOH-scah tu MEN-teh. 
    
    For all of these pronunciations, finding a native speaker is the best
  option, if possible; I cannot adequately write out all the inflections and
  vowels.
    
    I hope you enjoy the song.
    
    
    
    Your humble servant,
    
    Sarah OSullivan
