Lyrics & Translation

[English]

New year’s here, let’s start the show, Hola, ciao, bonjour – ready to go! 

Memo in hand, we’re soaring high, Konnichiwa, namaste, touch the sky. 

This year’s the time to thrive and grow, Languages flourish, breaking the status quo. 

Saying “Hi!” in every land we know, Memo shows us how to make it so.

Salut, hallo, buongiorno too, Learning languages – that’s our coup. 

Memo in hand, we’re in sync, Polyglot dreams, on success’s brink. 

With every lesson, we find our stride, Cultures converge, dissolving pride. 

Memo guides us, no need to hide, Polyglot champions, eyes open wide.

Smash those goals, dance till dawn, With DuoCards, we’ll transform. 

New words, new me, on this quest, Together, we’ll be the very best. 

Break down barriers, hear the call, Languages unite us, one and all. 

Memo lights our way, we stand tall, Together, we’ll never fall.

Boundaries dissolve, voices blend, Languages learned, friendships mend. 

Memo brings magic to every touch, Each lesson offers so much. 

Step to the rhythm, feel the beat, In every word, a new world we meet. 

Polyglot dreams illuminate the night, Memo guides us, hearts alight.

Smash those goals, dance till dawn, With DuoCards, we’ll transform. 

New words, new me, on this quest, Together, we’ll be the very best. 

Break down barriers, hear the call, Languages unite us, one and all. 

Memo lights our way, we stand tall, Together, we’ll never fall.

Step by step, word by word, Memo leads – haven’t you heard? 

From dawn to dusk, we’ll never stop, Language champions, reaching the top. 

Memo in hand, we’re breaking through, Every language, a dream come true. 

Polyglots rising, we claim the prize, With Memo, the world’s our size.
