[Intro: 32 bars, drums and percussion only; no voices, humming, bass or keys] [Instrumental: bass and Rhodes gradually enter; the same drum groove continues] [Female spoken soul: low, intimate, widely spaced phrases, behind the percussion] Palm language A message without a name One hand answers The other leaves some space [Extended instrumental: uninterrupted kick, interlocking congas, deep bass and warm Rhodes; no breakdown] [Female spoken soul: soft, unhurried phrases over the same steady groove] No translation Just the warmth between our hands Palm language Something we both understand [Extended instrumental: keep the same groove; subtle chord voicings and percussion variations, no dramatic transition] [Female spoken soul: distant, sparse] Palm language One hand answers Palm language The other leaves some space [Instrumental: all voices and vocal echoes disappear; bass and chords gradually leave while the drums stay steady] [Outro: 32 bars, drums and percussion only; full steady kick, fixed 120 BPM, no slowdown; clean ending on the bar line]
