GLOSS:

I think it's time - I THINK YOU NEED
that you take off that locket - TAKE OFF NECKLACE
Cause I can't even - I CAN'T
look in your eyes - LOOK AT YOU
We all agreed that - WE AGREE
this wouldn't be easy - THIS NOT EASY
And now we're going nowhere in time - NOW WE CAN'T DO-THINGS

Don't make me choose - DO-NOT-FORCE CHOICE
between you - (CHOICE FINGER ONE) YOU
and what we're fighting for - (CHOICE FINGER TWO) RIGHT BELIEF
We all will lose - WE ALL LOSE
if we give up - IF GIVE UP
and our efforts fall short - AND WORK BREAKS

And I know it's been - LONG TIME PAST
Such a long time - I KNOW
Since we've just been friends - SINCE WE ONLY FRIENDS
And not soldiers on - NOT FIGHT
The front line of a war - IN WAR
That we were born into - WE INHERITED
But we've got to do this together - BUT WE NEED WORK TOGETHER
Don't leave me - DON'T LEAVE ME

We know now even - NOW WE KNOW
the greatest of heroes - GREAT HEROES
Have their moments of compromise - SOMETIMES COMPROMISE
But in the end, - BUT ALONE
we choose how we live, - WE CHOSE WHAT WE DO
And I need you - I CHOOSE YOU
right here by my side - WITH ME

PRE-Chorus
CHORUS

You know you're - YOU KNOW
only one I need - I NEED YOU
Can't do this without you - CAN'T FIGHT WITHOUT YOU
Can't you see - RIGHT QUESTION
You know you're only one - YOU KNOW TRUTH
Don't Leave - DON'T LEAVE ME

CHORUS

Hi. Well, I already knew the song when I found this video but I decided to watch with the sound off because I'm learning sign language right now. (Mostly because I almost lost my ability to speak a few months ago and I want to be able to communicate if I really lose it, but that's unrelated) I was surprised how much of it I got and how close to the actual song lyrics people can get. You did great!

[feitocomfruta]

@crismarieissonotcool Thanks. :) Funny story, I learned ASL while studying for my degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders, because I want to be a Speech Pathologist, so I know a lot about Augmentative and Alternative Communications, as well as speech disorders. Hope everything turns out okay for you!

This was great, I love it, I'm English and have been trying to put this song into BSL but it's very hard, with it my mum being deaf and not me, it's quite hard. How long did it take you to translate?

[feitocomfruta]

@ThexRandomxVloggers Glossing the lyrics usually only takes me a few minutes with every song I do, but it depends on how much I need to look up online. With this song, I think there were only like 4 or 5 signs I didn't know. On the other side of things, my video of "Kentucky Rose" took a lot longer, because I needed to look up and practice a good 50 to 75 percent of the signs.

[lukeconard]

This is great! I don't think anyone has done this to a MoM song before. :)

[feitocomfruta]

@lukeconard Well, Wrock lyrics are a bit more difficult to interpret, being so specialized. But then again, an expressive interpretation just gets better with more illustrative language.

I was just glossing this song the other day, loved seeing your interpretation. Call me weird but for some of the MoM songs that use specific names, I actually made signs for. I know they arn't legit, but it does make it easier lol ....

[commanderupapproves]

asl is such a beautiful language

@jjordan2022 Thanks a lot. :) It's funny how a WROCK song based on the Deathly Hallows is so relevant to today's culture and society.
