My translation of "You Are My Sunshine" into Toki Pona. Recorded for demonstration purposes; I don't have glamorous recording equipment!

Some have asked for the lyrics; here they are for reference:

sina suno mi,
a! sina suno mi.
sina lon la
mi pilin pona.
sina sona ala
e olin suli mi.
o weka ala e suno mi!

Sina Suno Mi

Song from the album 'Beware of Plato's cavemen', sung in the constructed minimal language of toki pona.

Beware of Plato's cavemen

mi wile e ni

mi pana olin e sina
sina pana ala
sina pana e ona
taso mi ala

mi olin e sina
o sina olin e mi

mi pana pilin e sina
sina pana ala
sina olin e jan ike

mi olin e sina
o sina olin e mi

sina olin ala e mi tan seme?
sina weka tawa mi
sina weka e mi tan seme?

o sina olin e mi

a toki pona lullaby :)

lyrics:
__sike__
o lape, o lape
ale li pona tawa sina
o lape, lape suwi
tenpo kama la ale li pona

__musi #1__
tenpo suno kama la

waso lili suwi li kon

tenpo suno kama la

kasi kule mute li lon

__sike__
o lape, o lape
ale li pona tawa sina
o lape, lape suwi
tenpo kama la ale li pona

__musi #2__
tenpo suno kama la
pimeja li awen kin
pimeja li monsuta ala

tenpo suno kama la
walo li kama sin
ale li pona tawa sina

__sike__
o lape, o lape
sina kama la ala li ike
o lape, lon supa lape
lape suwi, omekapona

mi wile e ni
