Thanks, semi-submersible. I'm still going to have to edit Marta's translation some to make it good Esperanto, however I am filkish enough to know that "it sounds more ethnic if it ain't good" Esperanto, so I won't polish it too much! The main problem is her failure to esperanticize place names that are normally esperanticized, e.g. "Kalifornja" instead of normal "Kalifornio"; it's as if an English song had "Købnhavn" (perhaps loosely rhymed with "lovin'") where you'd expect "Copenhagen" (perhaps loosely rhymed with "huggin'") or "Mumbai" where you'd expect "Bombay". Her half-transl-half-transliter-ation "ment-ĝulep" also feels odd. Anyhow, if you're in Sidney(BC) next month perhaps you'll drop by the Esperanto convention talent show and hear it sung (provided I can get the updated lyrics in time).
