What does this phrase mean (from Disney’s Pocahontas)?
I was watching Disney’s Pocahontas the other day, and I was curious about a phrase that Grandmother Willow sings to Pocahontas. I’m spelling this phonetically, so please forgive me: “Quay quay notura.” In the song, Grandmother Willow says, “Quay quay notura, you will understand.”
Does this phrase mean “you will understand”? I’ve been really curious about its meaning. I’d look it up, but I’m not sure what language it’s from or how to spell it correctly.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Algonquin. Que que na-to-ra = you will understand, according to several sources. I don't know the language myself.
