sina ken ala seli e telo tawa
sina ken ala ante e kon tawa [wawa].
tenpo li kama kon
sama ko pimeja walo.
tenpo li weka e ni
jan pona li tan ni:
ona li ken pana monsi
e sitelen sewi lon tenpo wan.
jan pona li tan ni:
ona li ken pana monsi
e pona pini lon tenpo suno wan.
sina ken ala lukin e sitelen kon.
sina ken ala moli e pilin insa lon.
tenpo li kama kon
sama ko pimeja walo.
tenpo li weka e ni.
jan pona li tan ni:
ona li ken pana monsi
e sitelen sewi lon tenpo wan.
jan pona li tan ni:
ona li ken pana monsi
e pona pini lon tenpo suno wan.
jan pona li tan ni:
ona li ken pana monsi
e pona pini lon tenpo suno wan.

jan ale li wile. jan ale li sona.

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.
