How about
{ge ro da poi me su'o pi mu do zo'u ni mi ca'a nelci da kei fa li su'e pi mu
pi'i mo'e lo pa ni ca'a lo se nelci be mi mi nelci da gi ro da poi me me'i =
pi
mu do zo'u ni mi ca'a nelci da kei fa li su'e pi mu pi'i mo'e lo pa ni ca'a=
 lo
drani nu cnemu da ku mi nelci da}
?

If we wanted to make it less repetitious at the expense of deviating further
=66rom the form of the english, we could put in an outer prenex {bu'a cei se
nelci be mi}, and use {ni bu'a da} in place of {ni mi nelci da}.

Note that we're both relying on a definition of the quantifier {pi mu} which
Pierre has just contradicted in another thread...

I'm also not sure how widely accepted is this meaning for {ca'a} as
a sumtcita.
