musi "jan pi ma Mancha"

(This is the first actual blogpost on this website, you can ignore the rest while they're still there.)

While I'm still procrastinating on setting up a language switch for the site, I've gone and translated the chorus from the popular theme of Don Quixote into Toki Pona.

Here it goes:

mi li mi, Ton Kijote!

^{_{I am I, Don Quixote!}}

lawa pi ma Mancha!

^{_{The Lord of La Mancha!}}

mi kute li tawa nasin...

^{_{My destiny calls and I go...}}

kon wawa pona mute

^{_{And the wild winds of fortune}}

ona tawa e mi

^{_{Shall carry me onward}}

tawa ma pi sona ala...

^{_{Oh, whithersoever they blow}}

tawa ma pi sona ala...

^{_{Whithersoever they blow}}

mi tawa li kama sewi!

^{_{Onward to glory I go!}}

If you've somehow reached this post without knowing what song am I talking about, consider giving a listen to either the original here, or the wonderful cover by Launchqueen over on her YouTube channel.
