SITELEN

monsuta mi la ona li moli e mi
mi wile toki e ni
olin ni, open olin ni
kon sewi o, pana sona e ni:
mi wile sona e ni:
kepeken nasin seme la
mi awen ken ala toki ni?
tenpo sike lete la, sina sitelen e ijo
sina pana e ni tawa mi, pona tawa sina, a a a
tenpo ni la, mi pakala pini
mi toki lon la, mi wile e olin sina

I’d like to think that I love every letter just as equally
but I’ve been putting U and I together extra frequently
Just a couple questions have been eating me alive
Are you shooting me those eyes, or, are mine deceiving me?
Last night was a movie, baby, can we get a sequel please?
And can you save a seat? ‘Cause next to you is where I need to be
Stomach full of butterflies, I don’t have an appetite
mi ken ala pakala. taso, mi wile toki e ni:
You and I’s a passing thought of mine that I cannot deny
but something in me says it’s chemistry, it isn’t rocket science
Pencil in whenever, and we can do whatever
You can name whoever, guarantee that we could do it better
pana sewi ike, pilin pona in whatever weather
toki lon ni: kama sona sina mi, li wile nasin ni:
I’ll, get a hundred pens and fill a hundred pages
write as many letters as it takes to get to know you, baby

monsuta mi la ona li moli e mi
mi wile toki e ni
olin ni, open olin ni
kon sewi o, pana sona e ni:
mi wile sona e ni:
kepeken nasin seme la
mi awen ken ala toki ni?
tenpo sike lete la, sina sitelen e ijo
sina pana e ni tawa mi, pona tawa sina, a a a
tenpo ni la, mi pakala pini
mi toki lon la, mi wile e olin sina

tenpo ni li waso, tenpo ni li sike
sina lon ni ala la tenpo ni li ike
weka tan ona, la mi a sona
mi ken olin e sina kepeken toki pona
where will we be going? baby I propose this:
crystal clear water, into which we could toe dip
distant mountains, up, down, bouncing
and you could pick ‘em out with your fingers like they’re clouds or something
you described, it’s what you’re fantasizing when you pass the time
the thought of getting back on track with you’s what keeps my back aligned
and back in time is where a half a mind of mine is active on the day-to-day
I’ve got your radio waves to keep my brain awake
and I can’t wait to share a rainy day without a passing thought of data rates or how to schedule, a train station date
I got another letter from you, said you made it recently
I hope you make it soon, I’d love to see you, baby
weka tan a
