Where words dance and play,
Oote calls, Oote calls,
With joy and mischief, they say.

Toote follows, Toote follows,
A rhythm so strange and fine,
Tate, Tate, in the distance,
Echoing this playful rhyme.

Oote, Toote, Tate,
A language all its own,
With nonsensical delight,
Their meaning yet unknown.

In the realm of wordless wonder,
Hanlo's creation takes its place,
A linguistic experiment,
A poem beyond time and space.

Once again, please note that this translation is an attempt to convey
