More colours!

uy̓ skweyul nu siyéy̓u,

Guess what I discovered today on the Internet? It’s a song about colours from our Quw’utsun siyéyu to the south. They have some colour words that are a little different, but most are the same!  Xwiyuné:m’  ‘i’  t̓ilum ce:p!  

Quw’utsun – Cowichan

siyéyu – friends and relatives

xwiyuné:m’ – listen

‘i’ – and

t̓ilum – sing

ce:p – you (plural)
