Poetry from Xenon

[m19834]

Ibba ca tu ra xiti,
Niffi ka tzin mee nir shree.
Tyu fwaton mei bextizva,
Anna phwir ooni ta bah.

Kibbi wak,
donna fak,
tunnu basti mella qak.

That is beautiful classical Xenonian, Karli.  That dialect
looks to me from the 3rd age during the reign of Lattshrimi IV.

There is a legend that Shakespeare followed Da Vinci's
ideas for a flying machine, built a ship, and flew to Xenon
so he could learn to be a poet. 

It has been aeons since I heard a poem dipped from the
rich quill of Xenonian.  The best poetry in the galaxy, they say.

[m19834]

Neema dumma Ika bumma,
latski isha inna tzumma.

[ahinton]

Do I sense the possible emergence of a new meaning for xenophobia here?...

Best,

Alistair

[morningstar]

Wow, this is...odd.

[pianoplayer88]

Wow, this is...odd.

Umm...yeah.

[morningstar]

Is the poetry just random words or is it derived from an actual language? Don't recognise it

[pianowolfi]

As Goldy already said, it's true Xenonian

[morningstar]

Which makes heaps of sense.

The Big Lalula (Christian Morgenstern, 1871-1914)

Kroklokwafzi? Semememi!
Seiokrontro - prafriplo:
Bifzi, bafzi; hulalemi:
quasti basti bo...
Lalu lalu lalu lalu la!
Hontraruru miromente zasku zes rü rü?
Entepente, leiolente
klekwapufzi lü?
Lalu lalu lalu lalu la!
Simarar kos malzipempu
silzuzankunkrei!
Marjomar dos: Quempu Lempu
Siri Suri Sei
Lalu lalu lalu lalu la!

Indeed, O goldentone, Third Adjuntant Proloxis from the Age of Lattshrimi IV!

I thought I recognized you, alas, as adrift as we are in the Milky Way.

As Lattashrimi himself would have said:

"Wulf bloogo jig
Wo jig bloogo wulf!"

But I tarry.  My Karli-Beam calls down to me for instant transport.

Farewell!  Brothers and Sisters!  Farewell!

I didn't think you'd remember me, General, as
I was out and about in the galaxy quite a bit during that time.

*Hears echoes of the Xenonian National Anthem*

An old song we sang in my Jr. High days back in Xenon. . .

I love this post .

I love this post .

I'm afraid that I must confess to my inability to share your feelings about it, its amusement and other worthwhile content being (to me) at once and at best thin, ephemeral and peripheral; xenon nevertheless remains the most effective of the inert gases as a filler in sealed double and multiple glazing units...

Best,

Alistair

With all due respect, Alistair, that is your loss then, I guess !

Perhaps so...

Ha! Wonderful!! That makes me want to speak Xenonian for the rest of the day. Why wouldn't PS let me post my audio version of this one directly here? I don't want to go to the audition room for it, so:

Wolfi, Wolfi!  hee hee.  This has absolutely made my day to hear your interpretation .

That's an opportunity for a big Wolfi smile  

[littletune]

Wolfi and m1469 are cute!  and cool! 
I think I'll post something here too probably, when I have time (i hope soon!)... well... cause I just found a recording of me when I was like 2 and a half I think and I'm speaking a really funny language... it's kinda scary But I don't know if it's Xenonian  Well I'll see... 

[littletune]

I'll post un unknown language from baby littletune   Well I was about 2-3 years old... and there are a few words (and sentences) from my language but mostly it's just some unknown language 
It's just the sound, but I recorded it as a video (from the tape recorder) cause you can't post just audio here in "anything but piano".

[m1469]

Thanks, baby LT .  You sound very commanding .. !

*starts commanding anybody and everybody in various languages*

   Yes I guess I do... I think maybe sometimes I can be a little like that    but not that often... I think 

[littletune]

Hello! I wanted to post something you might call my first (singing) improvisation from when I was 2 to 3 years old (about the same time as that talking video). Most of the words are unknown language (there are a few words and sentences in my language, the funniest of those must be when I was singing something like: Mum can I go to a doctor cause I drank too much wine  - i have no idea where I got that, cause my parents are not drinking a lot of wine or anything). But yes I guess you can call this my first improvisation!
