I think you would want "poi" there. But "noi" with selbri would have a
different use:

do sanga noi mi na pu djuno
You sing, which I didn't know.

This construction would require something like "ke'a" but in selma'o
GOhA, to pick the selbri that "noi" attaches to. Or perhaps "co'e" can
do that job:

do sanga noi mi na co'e
You sing, which I don't.

do sanga noi ro da djica lo nu da co'e
You sing, which everybody wants to do.

mu'o mi'e xorxes
