Op de vleugels van moedertaal

Konden we maar

steeds meer leren

onze moedertaal,

een prachtige parel,

te waarderen en

te conserveren

Want is het toch niet zo

dat wanneer wij op de vleugels

van moedertaal opstijgen

wij ons zicht op alle aspecten

des leven meer kunnen uitbreiden?

Want Papiamentu,

is het toch niet met jouw kennis,

dat wij gebruikmakend van jouw woorden engrammatica

met de natuurlijk intonatie en verbale ritme

tegen degene die wij het meest beminnen kunnenzeggen

dat wij hem, maar dan ook hem alleen zo liefhebben,

mijn oogappel, mijnsuikerdiefje, mijn lieve schat,

wij liefdevol kooswoordjes tegen ons kindje kunnenspreken?

Want

moedertaal,

mi mamatongo

mi lengua materna,

ma langue maternelle,

my mother language,

mijn moedertaal,

my moedertaal,

logghat oummi ( ,(لغة أمي

Zu Guo De Yu Yan (我的母语),

mia lingua nativa,

is het toch niet zo

dat jij de weg voor ons hebt vrijgemaakt
