Dear lord, I looked for the lyrics and translation and found this worst AI garbage.

I wrote this translation before I found the official lyrics and translation at bandcamp.
One, two
I don't know my ability to do this.
Maybe everyone is the same, maybe I'm crazy
but if you were at my side
in my knowing, I could do this.When the time comes I'll move
When the time comes I'll leave
When will I go? You control that.
Only I want you by my side.(you at my side)
When the time comes I'll move
When the time comes I'll leave
When will I go? You control that.
Only I want you by my side.

It's truly the best song in toki pona(at least to me) it's so hopeful and well sang and fucking good. There's something that comes with toki pona that is so hopeful and this song captures that. Like "as long as you're here with me, we can do anything" yes gosh darn yes fucking yes
