Lyrics - Alutiiq
(Alutiiq folk song, Alaska Native)
Tuntut taint. Alingnillkici.
Santa Claus-eq tainia’ artuq.
ting a-ling a-ling.
Akma kuluk’uunat kaugai.
Ing’igun-ruq taitaartuq.
Tamaagun-ruq taitaartuq.
ting a-ling a-ling.
English Translation – The Reindeer are Coming
The reindeer are coming. Don’t be afraid.
Santa Claus is coming soon.
ting a-ling a-ling.
In the distance he is ringing the bells
From the mountains he comes
From over there he comes.
ting a-ling a-ling.
