Wasidawideye - Orange Shirt Song -
Wah – sid – da – wid – deh – yeh
Is the word for heart break.
They took her orange shirt away,
Wah – sid – da – wid – deh – yeh.
2nd verse (Stayed in School 300 days).
Wah – sid – da – wid – deh – yeh
Her heart was broken in this way.
Resdential school says,
“Broken hearts are here to stay”.
If you speak, mother tongue
Sew your mouth shut, little one.
Don't you know we make the rules?
This is residential school.
CHORUS – X 2
Wah – sid – da – wid – deh – yeh,
Wah – sid – da – wid – deh – yeh,
Is the word for heart break.
Wah – sid – da – wid – deh – yeh.
