Very pretty! One nitpick (and I've done it myself): {noi} doesn't parse. You
think in English (or Norwegian or probably any other Indo-European language)
"Ay is a bee which sees", but in Lojban that becomes "An ay bees which sees",
which doesn't parse.

Oops.

The fifth verse is now officially "gi'e sarji le tsani tsina be le draci crida".
