I build my language with rocks.
I build my language with gems.
I build my language with abstractions.
I build my language with people

Some call it the language that was left behind.
Some call it the language that will be left behind.
Some call it the language that no one will ever speak again.
Some call it the language that will speak to no one again.

In your tongue, in my mother tongue,
In another language and another mother tongue
Is a child who speaks both of them
A half-native.
I build my language with rocks.
I build my language with gems.
I build my language with abstractions.
I build my language with people

With my tongue I am half native to you;
With my mouth I am a half-native to you;
With my fingers I am a half-native to you;
With my ear I am a half-native to you.

I will be a half-native to you;
And you will be a half-native to me;
And my sister will be a half-native to you.
A half-native to you, you will be a half-native to me.

You call it the language that was left behind,
You call it the language that will be left behind,
You call it the language that no one will ever speak again,
You call it the language that will speak to no one again.

You call my people lost in time,
You call our time past,
You call your speech and your mind lost forever,
You call my speech and my mind lost
