History: House of the Rising Sun

Source of version: 1 (current)

(A touchstone for the use of attitudinals in translating overtones.) ---- There is a house in New Orleans, They call the Rising Sun, And it's been the ruin' of many a poor boy, And Lord, I know, I'm one. My mother was a tailor, She sewed my new blue jeans, And my daddy was a gamblin' man, Way down in New Orleans. Now the only thing that a gambler needs, Is a suitcase and a trunk, And the only time that he is satisfied, Is when he comes home drunk. She's got one foot on the platform, The other on the train, I'm going back to New Orleans, Gonna wear that ball and chain. So mama, tell your children, Not to do what I have done, To spend their life in sin and misery, In the House of the Rising Sun. Repeat 1st verse ---- Is this page here in the hope that someone will translate it, or because Mark chid ((And|me)) on Lojban List for saying my daddy was a gambling man, he sold my new blue jeans? __mu'onai doi sutyzunti__ * pau oiro'apei ju'onai i ni'o ta'o sei jboske se'u zo sutyzunti cmene po'o i lu doi do noi sutyzunti li'u ge valsi lo nu tavla lo se tavla be lo bacru be lo'e no'a xi ro kei noi va'i lo vlagirzrvocativu gi ba'e ji'a skicu i mi'e and ---- ''fu'e.auro'a.a'onaicairo'e .uinairo'i.u'unaisairo'a lebi'u la NA,lenz. ku dinju cu selcme zo cernyzda .i ra spogau so'i to'e se funca .e mi .i taxfu fenzba mamta .i mibypre pakybla ji'a .i cunso kelci patfu vi le bi'unai tcadu .i le bardu bevytanxe .e le cmalu lo kelci cu sarcu .i le xalka zdakla cunkei po'o cu cunkei gleki .i denpa stizu cpana jamfu .i trene drata .i tcadu bi'unai krefu je se bapli mibypre .i doi mamta ko kajde le panzi le ckape poi fasnu mi .i dunku je betri nunsre nenri la cerni zdani lebi'u la NA,lenz. ku dinju cu selcme zo cernyzda .i ra spogau so'i to'e se funca .e mi fu'o'' ---- e'o jarco le basna i ((And|mi)) pu je ca ku na (ku) ka'e drani sanga snada i ji'a ma se valsi zo mibypre lo'e jbobau be do i fi lo'e mi jbobau ku go'i fe la'e zoi glico one glico (My use of "mibypre" is explained [http://nuzban.wiw.org/wiki/index.php?LojbanSlang|here].
