Shadowy meadows
Surround the valley
Skinny wee fellows
Pushing a trolley
The grasses are green
The sky is melancholic...
tenpo li kama tawa pini tenpo.
jan li alasa e jan olin ike. sina ken jo
e jan olin pona e jan pona olin.
tan seme la sina wile e jan nasa sama mi?
tenpo mute la mi sitelen e ijo pimeja.
mi sitelen e toki pi pu ala, la jan mute li kalama
li wile utala e mi. mi sona ala e tan ona.
mi kepeken toki pona. ni li ike anu pona?..
This is a lyrics I've been struggling to record, so I finally publish it here.
average 107 226 kilometers an hour
the Earth's moving, spinning, rotating, dour
and just moves forth and further away
from the core
from the base
from the center of the milky way...
So I made a vid about sitelen lili (or attempted to, depending on whether the recording's usable)
mi tawa lon insa pi ma tomo pi kasi,
la mi pali e moku soweli seli.
mi moku e
ona li pilin e wile
tan ni:
meli ona li jo e lupa sike.
ona li wile unpa.
ona li wile awen
lon sewi kiwen pi olin pi kule
pi laso loje pimeja jelo.
tenpo mute la mi tawa. mi wile e telo...
(pssst, there are interesting "behind the scenes" like notes too!)
