I'm completely new to this list, have been trying to pick up lojban in my spare time for a couple of months. I am a musician, and as such I have a real interest in lojban in a lyrical format, and would love to try my hand at lojbanic rock music. The purpose there is twofold: 1) I think lojban is a fascinating, promising language and 2) I really suck at lyrics in English :-P So I've been experimenting writing some 4/4 rock music for singing lojban over, with the goal of recording a handful of tracks and perhaps releasing them in creative commons to help the lojban effort. I have a few draft songs kicking around which are probably HORRIBLE lojban and I would love for some of the more experienced guys to give me some pointers. I was reading about vlivla, and came up with a song inspired by jvijva (defined as per the 'vlivla' node on the wiki). So here is draft one of "le jvijva: The Rules of The Game": (Warning: anti-religious themes, thats just me, no offense meant) le zgivo'a pe le fetcei cu dunda lo nanmu le xarxei .i a'onai go'i jvijva .e'unai .e'unai le jvijva le midvo'a pe le jdaka'i cu dunda lo nanmu le xarxa'i .i a'onai go'i jvijva .e'unai .e'unai le jvijva kajde ko jdatib If anyone could tell me what I've just written, I'll tell you what it was *supposed* to say and we can work from there. It'd be a great help both to my lojban and my songwriting. Also apologies for spawning random lujvo. Its for rhythmic purposes. ki'e rodo mu'o
