Tongues by Tanya Tagaq Lyrics

They took our tongues
They tried to take our tongues
We lost our language
And we didn't
Inuuvunga (I am an Inuk)
We didn't
Inuuvunga (I am an Inuk)
You can't take that from us
You can't take that from us
You can't take our blood
You can't take that from us
You can't have my tongue
You can't have my tongue
Inuuvunga (I am an Inuk)
You can't have my tongue
You can't have my tongue
Inuuvunga (I am an Inuk)
Tukisivunga (I understand)
You can't have my tongue
I don't want your god
I don't want your god
Put him down
Put him down
I don't want your shame
I want to come
I don't want your shame
It doesn't belong to me
You can't have my tongue
Inuuvunga (I am an Inuk)
