In a one-horse open sleigh
Through the fields we go
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.

Chorus:...

Open your ears to the ancestors and you will understand the language of spirits.

Don't laugh at the nakedness of our ancestors because before their eyes we're all naked for our spirits belong to them.

To be simple is a pedestrian virtue, but to persevere in simplicity is a virtue of spiritual giants.
