Audio-only MP3 file of soundtrack

Music is my arrangement of “The Happy Farmer” from Album for the Young by Robert Schumann.

I am not a native speaker, so this is only my best effort at pronunciation at the time.

Awenesh egawaateshing agwajiing onaagoshing? Awiya onandawaabandaan ishkwanjigan. Zhigaagong izhimaagozi. Ishkodeng inaandenoon wiinizisan. Onishki’aan indayinaanin ji-migizhigod. Niminwendaanaan mawadishigoyaangid, aw waagosh.

English translation

Who is in the shadows outside in the evening? Someone is looking for leftover food. They smell like a skunk. Their hair has the color of fire. They anger our dog, so she barks at them. We like when they visit us, that fox.
