Zaparoan (also Sáparoan, Záparo, Zaparoano, Zaparoana) is an endangered language family of Peru and Ecuador with fewer than 100 speakers. Zaparoan speakers seem to have been very numerous before the arrival of the Europeans but their groups have been decimated by imported diseases and warfare and only a handful of them have survived.
There were 39 Zaparoan-speaking tribes at the beginning of the 20th century, every one of them presumably using its own distinctive language or dialect. Most of them have become extinct before being recorded, however, and we have information only about nine of them.
Like a yo yo
You're spinning me up and down
Like a yo yo
You're pulling me round and round
All around the world
For every boy and girl
They say they're sorry lying
It's never gonna change

Again and again

Tug on the string
Wrap me around your heart
Tug on the string
Wrap me around your heart
Tug on the string
Tug on the string
