A vava inouva [English translation]

Please, Unlock the door for me

O father Inouva (bis)

Make your bracelets shake

O my daughter Ghriva ah

I'm scared, the monster of the woods is here

O father Inouva (bis)

But I'm scared too

O my daughter Ghriva ah

The grandfather, wrapped

In her bathrobe, listening

His son, in his memory of yesterday, eating, turned

The daughter, behind the craft

Alone, weaving the loom

Family together

Listen eagerly to stories she was telling them.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Family together

La, la, la, la, la, la, la,

Stories she was telling them.

Please, Unlock the door for me

O father Inouva (bis)

Make your bracelets shake

O my daughter Ghriva ah

I'm scared, the monster of the woods is here

O father Inouva (bis)

But I'm scared too

O my daughter Ghriva ah

The snow behind the door

And the stew heats up in the pot

And those assembled dreaming of the coming spring

.. And the moon and stars are still hiding ..

Refer to the oak and replace the willow mat

Family together

Listen eagerly to stories she was telling them.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Family together

La, la, la, la, la, la, la,

Stories she was telling them.

O father Inouva (bis)

Make your bracelets shake

O my daughter Ghriva ah

I'm scared, the monster of the woods is here

O father Inouva (bis)

But I'm scared too

O my daughter Ghriva ah
