Yes, your version is more fun to sing. The difficult line

 .i je'a nelci lepu'u litru [fi] [le] xirmycpu salcarce

usually had a bracketed word elided to fit the tune.
Permit me another try:

 .i zu'o sicni  tonga janbe  ca le litrytei
 .i je'a nelci lepu'u karsalcarce litru kei
 .i zu'o sicni  tonga janbe  vi le xirma ku
 .i je'a nelci lepu'u dunra pamei xirmycpu

.uo mi'e brtais.
