Y'all still with me? Last one.
Northern Pomo — Northern California,
Mendocino County, up the coast road.
Last fluent speaker gone in two thousand six.
The word means bridge. The word means cross.
Nobody left to say it — so we say it.
Say it back to me now
Ba-ko! Ba-ko! Ba-ko!
Say it like you mean it
Ba-ko! Ba-ko! Ba-ko!
We don't take it to the bridge
We the bridge! We the bridge!
Keep your hands down on the lid
We the bridge! We the bridge!
Give me Peru — twenty in the room
Taushiro! Taushiro! Taushiro!
Give me Vanikoro, say it twice
Tanema! Tanema! Tanema!
Six fingers up in Ethiopia
Ongota! Ongota! Ongota!
Kids up front — louder
Ba-ko! Ba-ko! Ba-ko!
Back of the room, I can't hear you
Ba-ko! Ba-ko! Ba-ko!
Torba Province, two mouths left
Lemerig! Lemerig! Lemerig!
Border road, the market closed
Njerep! Njerep! Njerep!
Nine o'clock, the tape still plays
Tsuu T'ina! Tsuu T'ina! Tsuu T'ina!
Seven tongues deep and we ain't done
Ba-ko! Ba-ko! Ba-ko!
My grandmother's grandmother crossed that creek on foot.
Tonight a boy in the second row got the word in his mouth.
He passed it to his sister. She passed it down the line.
No planks, no rope, no river — and y'all crossed anyway.
Don't let the band stop. Don't let the band stop.
Say it back to me now
Ba-ko! Ba-ko! Ba-ko!
Say it like you mean it
Ba-ko! Ba-ko! Ba-ko!
We don't take it to the bridge
We the bridge! We the bridge!
Keep your hands down on the lid
We the bridge! We the bridge!
Ba-ko! Ba-ko! Ba-ko!
Ba-ko! Ba-ko! Ba-ko!
Taushiro — Tanema — Ongota
Lemerig — Njerep — Tsuu T'ina
Ba-ko! Ba-ko! Ba-ko!
We the bridge! We the bridge!
