jbini canlu ("The Space Between") - LOJBAN SONG

“Round the world! There is much in that sound to inspire proud feelings; but whereto does all that circumnavigation conduct? Only through numberless perils to the very point whence we started, where those that we left behind secure, were all the time before us. Were this world an endless plain, and by sailing eastward we could for ever reach new distances, and discover sights more sweet and strange than any Cyclades or Islands of King Solomon, then there were promise in the voyage. But in pursuit of those far mysteries we dream of, or in tormented chase of the demon phantom that, some time or other, swims before all human hearts; while chasing such over this round globe, they either lead us on in barren mazes or midway leave us whelmed.”
- Herman Melville, Moby-Dick (1851)

Unfortunately I can't speak a word of it. Someone tells me this means "Great new song by Janbe, but I don't speak Lojban." In any case, thanks for watching and saying something intriguing!)

[@janmusi]

btw, claiming my ("here b4 1000 subs ticket")

[@blueleafalan]

Someone has translated your video into Chinese and posted it on Bilbil. I'm curious if you agree to this behavior?

[@NoiseAndBells]

I don't really care what people do with my songs as long as they're not using it for some nefarious/hateful purpose. Would you mind linking me to the Chinese version? I'd love to see it :) EDIT: Never mind, I was able to find it on my own. I think this is fantastic! They even linked back to the originals. I don't speak Chinese (yet) so it's great that more people are able to enjoy my songs this way :D

[@blueleafalan]

​@@NoiseAndBells They also translated your previous songs. If you are interested, you can take a look.(｀・ω・´)

[@rayahui3768]

too wholesome

[@thedarkrider513]

still no zbalermorna

[@janmusi]

more dissecting time! vi lo srasu mi vreta ca ku vi: location; here lo srasu: the grass mi: me vreta: lie, like sleeping ca: right now?? ku: some terminator thing idk

[@NoiseAndBells]

Right on! {ku} is a terminator for determiners (selma'o LE) as well as prepositions (selma'o PU and BAI). Lojban tenses (PU) are grammatically prepositions; here, the terminator {ku} allows the present tense {ca} to be displaced from its verb and placed at the end of the clause as an adverbial construction. {ca ku} can therefore be rendered as an adverbial phrase in English, such as "currently" or "right now".

[@janmusi]

@NoiseAndBells how am I 11 like how is it that I'm 11 and like conlangs like huh????((??

[@janmusi]

why's the ribbon blue now? do you change it for every 100 subs?

[@janmusi]

now its green?

[@NoiseAndBells]

The color of the ribbon changes with the colors of the church year: i0.wp.com/anglicancompass.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/800px-Liturgical_year.svg.png?ssl=1 Blue is supposed to start with Advent on the 3rd, I just got ahead of myself :)
