[lojban] stressing out over a song?

[BestATN@aol.com]

this is xorxes's version:

ia DEI selSA'a ZE'e BA
i RANji LO'e VITno UA
i LO la'E di'U nalDJUno CO'a SANga RU
gi'E ba CA'o ZE'e SANga KI'u LE du'U

mu'o mi'e xorxes

here is my version (same words as his, just different stresses):

IA dei selSA'a ze'E ba
i RANji lo'e VITno ua
i LO la'e DI'u nalDJUno co'a SANga ru
GI'e ba CA'o ze'e SANga ki'U/LE du'u

instead of stressing every other syllable, i tried for three unstressed syllables between the stressed ones.  the gismu and lujvo were the only ones i deliberately left the same.
(i wrote "ki'U/LE" because either "U" or "LE" could be stressed, and i didn't like either one.)
