This is a translation of Péter Máté's Azért vannak a jóbarátok.
Lil' Jesus is coming to the town.
And he have brought some gifts for us!
But there was a wee bit
O' misunderstanding,
Because he bought the "Gift" in Germany..
jan ale li wile. jan ale li sona.
pilin li suwi. pilin l'alasa.
jan Sotan li ike. jan ante li pona.
pilin li suli. pilin l'utala.
mi sona e toki. mi sona e mute.
utala l'ike. utala l'ike.
mi sona e olin. mi sona li kute
e toki pona e toki ike....
Welcome there, child,
Don't be scared of me!
I'm naught, but a wild
Demon, a hero of fate!
Take my hand now,
And follow me please!
I'm gonna show you
What's worth to be seen!
I know, I know, I promised I'll write sooner, but stuff happened.
