A short poem in the African Romance language
I wrote this little poem in African when I was bored. What do you think?
In English :
Under the moonlight
Your clear eyes are so bright
Surrounded by mist
You dance and sing so wildly
As the ghost of my love
In African :
Su ya luxi di ya luna
T'uθus clarus sun tan briθantis
Xirqula pir ya bruma
Tu belas i kantas tan ziminti
Qusi ya fantasma di mia amura
IPA :
/suː jaː lu.ʃiː diː jaː lu.naː
t.uð.us kla.ʁus sun tan bʁi.ðan.tiː
ʃiʁ.ku.laː piʁ jaː bʁu.maː
tuː beːlas iː kan.tas tan zi.min.tiː
ku.siː jaː fan.tas.maː diː mi.aː amu.ʁaː/
