pan nanpa wan (song in Toki Pona)

I tried learning Toki Pona (a minimalist, constructed language) a while back. I gave up when I tired of it, because, how minimalist is learning a language I'll never use? I've always loved the idea of a universal language, though, and Toki Pona is probably simplest of them all. This is a charming song, and there's a new course out there on youtube with "Carl Jr." teaching the language in glyph form, which is much more fun than learning it using the Roman alphabet, IMO.
