They imposed English,
They spread Spanish
Also not without blood and genocides.
And they shoved the Muscovite tongue too,
Dug more than one pit for more than one people,
Inflicting grief, murder, and want.

An international one is needed,
If without coercion,
When it asks for itself —
The native tongue grows richer,
Strangers will not carry it off,
It will not scatter.

For death or for life —
Two civilizations.
And your language
For blessing or for ruin?
