ᐅᖃᐅᓯᐅᑉ ᐁᑉᐹᓄᓕᕐᑎᑕᐅᓯᒪᔪᑦ 
 
It’s a pretty caterpillar coming to see me 
I’m going to love it and keep it 
Poor thing is hungry and little  
I’m going to nurse it, I’m going to give it blood

ᐱᒋᓕᕐᖃᒋᑦ, ᐱᒌᓐᓇᓯᕙᕐᒪ ᐃᓱᖃᖕᖏᑐᒧᑦ 
 
It’s a pretty caterpillar, I don’t want it to be cold 
I’m going to swaddle it and carry it in my amauti* 
Poor thing is crying because it’s tired 
Poor thing is whining so I’ll put it to bed

ᐱᒋᓕᕐᖃᒋᑦ, ᐱᒌᓐᓇᓯᕙᕐᒪ ᐃᓱᖃᖕᖏᑐᒧᑦ 
 
It’s a pretty caterpillar, a beautiful baby 
It’s precious to me and I really don’t want to share it 
Look at its beauty, my little tiitiitii* 
It smells so good and I want to kiss it

ᐱᒋᓕᕐᖃᒋᑦ, ᐱᒌᓐᓇᓯᕙᕐᒪ ᐃᓱᖃᖕᖏᑐᒧᑦ 
Amauti: An Inuk women’s baby-carrying garment worn until the baby is 2 years of age.  
Tiitiitii: A pet name given to the caterpillar as a sign of affection
