I speak in tongues
Cuz I love the exhilaration
Brought by the combination of
cognition and intuition
using words that have
Same meaning
with a different upbringing.
Lidahku bernyawa
Apabila bertutur beribu bahasa
menyerap intipati budi pekerti budaya diluar jendela biasa
Yo soy un estudiante de lengua
Porque mi mente es como una taza vacia
Y el idioma es el agua
Nos llena de culturas que nos define
I am a proud Bunga Raya
Who is learning about Roses,
Y tambien la flor de mayo
Because in the end of the day,
we are flowers with different petals
living and growing on the same garden
El jardin de vida
Ariff thinks learning a new language makes you appreciate the ones you already know a lot more.
