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.)
