Lyrics[edit | edit source]
The lyrics consist of the two phrases below repeated multiple times. The second verse in particular literally means "you are all many good people", but it is likely that the intended meaning is "you are very good people", which would instead be sina jan pi pona mute.
toki pona li toki pona.
sina jan pona mute.
