Me esos muzikisto 00a

The Translations of the Poem

IDO

ENGLISH

ME ESOS MUZIKISTO

I WILL BE A MUSICIAN

La voyo esas bona, la vetero es belega,
La nubi esas fora e la suno es varmega.
La mondo nur bezonas injenioza trubaduro,
E me havas mea fluto, e me havas la tamburo.
Venas l’advoko
A nova loko!
Me metas la chapelo e me metas mea shui,
Pakigas ul nutraji e pakigas
la sur-shui,
E me tut! tut! tut-as! E me pum! pum! pum-as!
Til ke uceli kantas e til ke abeli zumas.

The road is good, the weather is beautiful,
The clouds are far away and the sun is hot.
The world only needs a clever troubador,
And I have my flute, and I have my
drum.
The call comes
To a new place!
I put on my hat and I put on my shoes,
I pack up some food and I pack up my vershoes,
And I toot! toot! And I boom! boom!
boom!
Til the birds sing and til the bees buzz.
