a toki pona translation of the "kick my head" scene from 'the guy who didn't like musicals'

(i.e., something nobody needs or asked for but I did it anyway)

please provide feedback on my toki pona if you spot a mistake! I am certainly not an expert and this was just something fun I did for practice.

the characters

(names have been tokiponized for completeness)

jan Pili = Bill Woodward

jan Tete = Ted Spankoffski

jan Pa = Paul Matthews

the translated scene

the original scene (starting at 52:47 and ending at 54:33)

just in case you're seeing this post and have not seen the guy who didn't like musicals (which could be likely, seeing as I'm posting this under the toki pona tag), the scene I've translated above is in the video linked below for reference.

jan Otimantija

(Ozymandias in toki pona)

jan pona mi li jan tawa pi ma pi tenpo pini.

ona li toki e ni: noka kiwen tu, suli a li lon ma seli.

poka ona la, sinpin kiwen.

sinpin ni li pakala, taso, ona li pilin ike.

ona li moli a, taso, jan pali ona li pona.

"mi jan Otimantija, mi li lawa pi jan lawa.

wawa o lukin e pali mi, o pilin e luka moli!"

poka pakala la, ala li awen.

ma seli li suli.

Toki pona is really not an easy language to write poetry in. Though it obviously doesn't resemble the original pentameter, I at least tried to give my translation some sense of meter. Here's the literal meaning of it, translated back into English:

My friend is a traveller from a land of the past.

They said this: two stone legs, very large, are in the land of fire.

Near them, a stone face.

This face is broken. However, it feels angry.

It feels imperious, it feels powerful, it looks at you.

It is dead, but the worker who made it was good.

This worker made very powerful emotions in the face.

There is writing on the stone, and it says this:

"I am Ozymandias, ruler of rulers.

Powerful ones, look at my work, and feel the hand of death!"

Next to the broken thing, nothing endures.

The land of fire is vast.

The New Life of Eilidh Mhorganach

(toki pona li lon anpa)

@krakajici-kavka and I made a game prototype! We made it as a submission for the Pirate Software Game Jam 15.

It's now playable on itch.io!

It's a rhythm game about a blind alchemist called Eilidh who uses music to brew her potions, with the help of her wife Leagsaidh and lab assistant Calum. The game is made with blindness accessibility in mind, and it fully playable without any visual input.

We plan to develop it further, so there may be more updates in the future!

(English above)
