la tijlan, 2012-09-10 [1] : Yesterday somebody called my attention to the "Lojban Anthem" created by lojbab and nitcion [...] It has interesting key modulations, and I was curious to give it a new arrangement.

History

Lojbab wrote[2] the original lyrics saying "If I can write Lojban poetry, anyone can". Nick Nicholas suggested some rewordings, so that the two stanzas could be actually singable to the same tune. He also added a short chorus, because the tune went in different directions in his brain, and corrected some out of date place structures (as pointed out by la tsali: lojban Anthem English translation.)
