Sister Moon and Brother Sun

Mother Earth was in the garden while her kids were runnin' 'round
 Sister Moon was laughing as she ran
 Then Brother Sun crashed into his mother's garden pail
 Spreadin' seeds all over the land
 So they say this is how the woods were made
 With the aspens, the oaks, and evergreens
 Don't you know that sometimes it happens by mistake
 That we make the most beautiful things
 When Brother Sun fell down in the dirt
 Father Sky filled a basin with the rain
 Then Sister Moon tripped and tumbled in
 Splashing water all across the plains
 So they say this is how the rivers were forged
 With the rapids, the rushes, and the springs
 Don't you know that sometimes it happens by chance
 That we make the most beautiful things
 Navajo: Nízhóonígoo adah íílyah (They made it beautifully)
 Sister Moon and Brother Sun were out in the yard
 Throwin' mud and digging holes in the ground.
 They kicked and they rolled all over the fields
 Pushing up rocks and dirt all around
 So they say this is how the mountains were formed
 With the peaks, the valleys, and the streams
 Don't you know that sometimes it happens by playing
 That we make the most beautiful things
 Nízhóonígoo adah íílyah (They made it beautifully)
 At the end of the day Mother Earth was tired
 And put her children down to rest - Dah'íílwoosh sha'ałchíní (go to sleep my children)
 She made two beds at the ends of the sky
 One in the east, and one in the west
 So they say this is how our days were split
 By the nights, the stars, and our dreams
 Don't you know that it takes some darkness and some light
 To make the most beautiful things
 Nízhóonígoo adah íílyah (They made it beautifully)
 Chant translation: "They made everything beautiful in the most perfect way"
