i used to listen to toki pona music back when i only knew about four words of the language, and i still listen to those songs because there aren't many options for toki pona music... lol as time went on there was one day where i listened to one of those songs and the meaning hit me like a truck and i just sat there like 0o0 for about the next two minutes lol and that's why i love the fact that i am able to understand toki pona music now :)
for me i can understand this songs lyrics, but not listening, since i'm still not great at listening to words, just reading. thats actually why im listening to toki pona music, so i can get better!

Coming back to these songs months after they've been released and realizing I can now understand them is so satisfying.
i used to listen to toki pona music back when i only knew about four words of the language, and i still listen to those songs because there aren't many options for toki pona music... lol
as time went on there was one day where i listened to one of those songs and the meaning hit me like a truck and i just sat there like 0o0 for about the next two minutes lol

@@jan-Pala haha, I definitely felt that way with a couple lines from omekalike and o toki sin.
for me i can understand this songs lyrics, but not listening, since i'm still not great at listening to words, just reading. thats actually why im listening to toki pona music, so i can get better!

Many of these lines make a tad more sense when you read pali as "work".
I’m obsessed with this song
This song is quite sad if you get past the pun
Heard you perform at SPTP and started listening to your music. This is really good.

pona mute mute mute. mi jo luka tu, ni li Ike. musi ala
ah yes, google translate definitely knows what toki pona words mean
because "musi ala" definitely means "sleep a dream" in english
and "mi jo luka tu, ni li ike" definitely means "'i don't want to break free,' said Ike"
google translate, for all of your toki pona needs /s
seeing what google translate does when faced with toki pona sentences is honestly hilarious
