Huron Carol - Jesous Ahatonhia - 'Twas in the Moon of Wintertime — Lyrics
Ehstehn yayau deh tsaun we yisus ahattonnia
O na wateh wado:kwi nonnwa 'ndasqua entai
ehnau sherskwa trivota nonnwa 'ndi yaun rashata
Iesus Ahattonnia, Ahattonnia, Iesus Ahattonnia
Ayoki onki hmashe eran yayeh raunnaun
yauntaun kanntatya hmdeh 'ndyaun sehnsatoa ronnyaun
Waria hnawakweh tond Yosehf sataunn haronnyaun
Iesus Ahattonnia, Ahattonnia, Iesus Ahattonnia
Asheh kaunnta horraskwa deh ha tirri gwames
Tishyaun ayau ha'ndeh ta aun hwa ashya a ha trreh
aundata:kwa Tishyaun yayaun yaun ndehta

About Huron Carol - Jesous Ahatonhia - 'Twas in the Moon of Wintertime
This arrangement of the Huron Carol, also known as Jesous Ahatonhia or 'Twas in the Moon of Wintertime, is ideal for Christmas services. The text, originating from the Huron-Wendat people, recounts the Nativity story from their unique perspective, with the refrain Iesus Ahattonnia celebrating the birth of Jesus. Sung in both Huron and English, it offers a rich cultural and historical dimension to the Christmas narrative. Its sacred nature and evocative lyrics make it a poignant choice for choirs seeking to present a deeply meaningful and historically significant carol.
