Lost Language of the Andamans

Lost forever in the sea of forgetfulness

The Andaman dialect she takes to her grave

No one alive now - it cannot be saved

Spoken for centuries with culture and kin

Remote tropic island where it stays therein

Have you forgotten the language of our Lord?

He speaks in the rustling leaves

He speaks in the blackest darkness

He speaks when there are no words

He heals the brokenhearted

He binds up their wounds

He speaks when there are no words

Lost language of the Andamans
