I am so imprested with your singing skills and fluency level. I do not how you can fluently sing in Toki Pona.

[@56independent42]

Well, at the least you can just memorise the syllables and sing them without understanding, which is what i generally default to, sometimes even in my native language.
But yeah, singing well is difficult, which i can personally attest to :p.

why does it say tawa linja lon instead of tawa lon linja

[@jan_Simiman]

I've wondered the same in the past, but the "lon linja" part is a composite glyph, where the glyphs are placed above each other. so "tawa lon-linja". It looks better when writing horizontally instead of vertically. The cover for "ma pi lon ala" uses a similar style. That one fits better because of the "pi" encapsulating the "lon ala".

Translation of the title: walk the real path

[@5ucur]

I wonder, where you got the word "real" from. I don't see it in the title, or any other word modifying _linja_ for that matter.

[@5ucur]

@@jan-ekina Yeah, but to act as a modifier for _linja,_ it should follow it, not precede it, right? Unless it's modifying _tawa,_ in which case the given translation makes even less sense to me.
Also it's lacking the imperative marker _o_ to make it mean "walk the real path" exactly.
It also doesn't make much sense to me within the lyrics, i.e. "mi lukin e sina li tawa lon linja / sama jasima mi ante jasima sina / olin la mi tawa lon linja / sina wile e ona la o anu ala e mi". It just feels like a totally different type of song than the vibe that title translation gives. Just look at the opening lines: "jan seme li ken olin / e pona mi e ike mi / jan seme li pona tawa mi / mi awen wan / ni li ike e mi". Seems more like a song about love than about walking a (or "the") real path.
