Love it, but unfortunately, it doesn't exactly work with the original tune, which (like most English songs) accent the last syllable on the lines, which is a lojbanic no-no for brivla..

To the tune of "rock-a-bye baby". And, in fact, as a response to
that song (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock-a-bye_Baby ; the
version I know in the "most common" one there, approx).
I'm having some scansion trouble with the first line; it was fine
until I realised that I needed "lo selsanga" instead of "lo sanga".
mi pu zu tirna / lo selsanga
.i srana le cifnu / poi tricu cpana
.i mi no roi djuno / lo fenki rinka
.i ku'i do gleki / lo xamgu mamta
