Great song. Great song.

Another Old Traditional Navajo Love Song

This is traditional Navajo love song sung by another famous Navajo singer, Davis Mitchell called "Beautiful Girl From Afar." It's found on the album "Navajo Singer Sings For You."

It is a non-ceremonial social song typically sung during public events, song and dances, or during school performances. Only Davis Mitchell is known for singing this song.

This song is done in the typical styling of traditional Navajo social songs, minimal words in between long chants. Loosely translated, the song says:

Shoo at'ééd...
Look, girl...

Dooládó' sha'...
My oh my...

T'óó ga' nizhóní láa ndi
You're pretty but...

...nikéé' ga' nízaad!
...its far to follow you home!
