[lojban] Re: multilingual lovesong - i claim prior art ;)

[nilcefas <nils.schaeffer@gmail.com>]

hey guys!

i really like to send a translation of this lovesong to bodo wartke,
hoping he will eventually include lojban into his repertoire, but i
don't want to take the responsibility all alone, if you know what i
mean…

according to timo paulssen, alex koch once came up with this:

.ai mi dei do ge sanga bau ro bangu
gi se pi'o ro cabra ku zgicusku
.i .iu ju'o
mi prami do

i wonder whether two small changes should/could be made:

.ai mi DI'E do ge sanga bau ro bangu
gi se pi'o ro ZGITCI ku zgicusku
.i .iu ju'o
mi prami do

hoping for your help!
