Talk:Huron Carol

The Bruce cockburn lyrics are correct. The carol was translated by [John Steckley] (see: http://clf.uua.org/quest/2001-12.html )of Humber College, who taught himself Huron by using Brebeuf's Huron dictionary and ethnological material gathered from the Wyandots. That's why I have re-worked the article to bring up the fact that the 1926 translation has no basis in the original song. Lafarge Dodger 02:15, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

diverts from the French?

Can someone clarify how the English verse diverts from the French/Indian version? Since the original song isn't provided, it's not clear what this statement means. The English does plenty of diverting from the original Gospel story itself, so I'm confused as to what the article is saying here.... Aristophanes68 (talk) 20:27, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

uh....why aren't the French lyrics here?

Given this is a Canadian-content page, it seems odd to not include the original French translation from the Huron, no?? and I cringed at the non-Canadian English usage "Christmas hymn". What is that, a British-ism? It's a Christmas carol... duh, in Canadian English anyway.... a Christmas hymn would be church-only, not popular or folk tradition, and ...solemn. Someone from Canada please amend this... it sounds *wrong*. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.55.69.14 (talk) 17:05, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

Um, it was originally written in the native language of the Wendat people. Because this is the English project, there's no need for a translation into another language. There is a link o the French project. If they don't list the lyrics, perhaps they could be added to Wiksource. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:14, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

Fr. Kieran's version used by Heather Dale

There was a request for a non-primary source for the attribution of a translation to Fr. Kieran. Would his translation suffice (users could compare it to her lyrics)? The following link actually has a number of translations (many of them much more closely related to the Wendat than Middleton's).
