What does Jesse say??? - Free Willy (1993) Discussion

[–] aussie_dog34 20 years ago

Just watch the movie and put on captions :). I did that last time I saw it, and it turns out the real words were different than what I thought (instead of "Salana" I thought he was saying "Sonana" lol)

"Salana Aye-own Eye-essis" is what I have in my mind now. Not the correct spelling, just how I say/think it. If I had the movie, I'd check, but my VCR ate it years ago, so obviously I can't.

I've tried to find out what it means, and have even tried looking in online native american dictionaries but there are so many different 'tribes' and all....I am so desperate to find out what he is saying but I have given up now :-( At least we now know what he says though! :-)

God I haven't seen this movie since it was in the theatre but don't they explain it in the movie? Or do they just explain it and not give a literal translation?

Unless you're uncle is Haida he would have no idea. The language is a dialect of Haida, and only about 40 people still speak haida, so this dialect would be hard to find. It actually means "Give This Animal Strength". This comes straight from the mouth of August Shelburg, the actor who played Randolf. You can email him at his website if you don't believe me. He answered me within about a day.

Jesse says: Salanaa Eiyung Ayesis.

It means: The Shadow of my Soul.

"Salanaa eiyung ayesis"
I've heard it translated as "Anything is possible" and "Give this animal strength" but I cant guarantee that's correct.
