Okay, since translation exercises that can be potentially politically
divisive seem to be out, how about a translation exercise that can be
generationally or agely divisive? :)

Anyone care to translate this into your conlangs?  :

"a great freedom for all the children, and that they won't tell us what
to eat and what to think.  that they won't ask us to do what we don't
want to, and that they won't say things that we don't understand.  that
all the children will go up into the trees and that all the adults will
become small!"

(based on a song from an Israeli play about little kids, called _haKeves
haShishah `Asar_, "the Sixteenth Sheep")

in Rokbeigalmki it would be:

_mlab sudglend fa'ilu barm-a, i ga'uhmzii'nyih-daguvdhab wa'amsh sha'hawa
wa'manoi i sha'hawa wa'peiwang.  ga'uhmzii'nyih-mer a:msh-wa'waz sha'hawa
ga'amzoi'nyih-shus, i ga'uhmzii'nyih-guvdhab guvdhabm
ga'amzoi'nyih-kevent.  ga'ilu barm-a uhmzii-ghalub wa'taur goresm-a i
ga'ilu gaheis-adhm-a uhmzii-gat!_


-Stephen (Steg), who has been listening to that CD way too much lately...
