about

pini la, mi toki e ona a a a.

I'd been sitting on this track for a while, slowly building up the lyrics for it. Might've put it out sooner were it not for the whole 7/8 bit, but I like how it turned out given that time. This one's a bit of a doozy to be putting out; the vocals part was very demanding, and lyrically there's only so much this leaves to the imagination lol. But hey, the jan Usawi project is nothing if not experimental, anti-perfectionist, and a little bit :florshed: sometimes.

lyrics

kepeken kalama suwi la sina toki e ni tawa mi: sina wile pilin wawa
mi ken ala wawa e sina la o pana tawa sina e pilin wawa
wile ni li pona tawa mi
telo loje en tel’oko laso
mi pilin ike tan ni: tenpo lon la sina ken ala toki

taso mi ken e sina la sina awen kalama
ni li kama suli
jan li kute la mi pakala
linja ni li wawa a
sina ken ala weka
tenpo pimeja ni la
sina kute, mi lawa

suno li tawa anpa li kama sin
mi pakala e sina, sina ken ala lukin
mi kiwen suwi pi pakala uta
ijo musi kule
sina utala e olin mi la
sina pilin ike
o alasa weka e tomo mi
tan suwi mi la sina ken ala wile e ni
mi kiwen suwi pi pakala uta
mi lanpan e tenpo
o awen insa e mi
a, sina wile e namako

kiwen uta sina li kama lupa
li kama pakala
la o pali sin
pilin suwi li suli tawa ni
mi toki ala e ni la sina awen sona
o weka e sona
mi wile kama lawa sin e sina pakala
sina pakala ala la
o weka e sona ni
mi ken lawa pakala e ale sina sama nasin Konami

insa mi li pakala
ona li wile e sina
insa sina pakala
li wile mute e mi a

(god, this is so dumb)

suno li tawa anpa li kama sin
mi pakala e sina, sina ken ala lukin
mi kiwen suwi pi pakala uta
ijo musi kule
sina utala e olin mi la
sina pilin ike
o alasa weka e tomo mi
tan suwi mi la sina ken ala wile e ni
mi kiwen suwi pi pakala uta
sina o moku la
ijo pona li kama sina
(sama seme?) sama unpa
