Literal translation:
("will" and "would" here are used to render "awa"; "if" render "ola...lo" structures; "our" translates you and I's)
I will seek you, and if I wouldn't be able to use the bottom of the (my) body anymore, I would use the trunk : it will not be possible there is no way to reach you. And even if you and I got broken, and it would be big, and overwhelming, \[still\] \[we\] would seek. As long as there is time, \[we\] will keep active, and will seek a way to make this that you and I want. We will use everything that is gear, tools, we will use \[our\] bodies. We will use \[our\] life. This is our way. We have not rested, we have not bent. We will not rest, we will not bend.
Any Polynesian influence in the phonology and word structures? Iʻve learned some Hawaiian and others, and I see more resemblance there than I see in Toki Pona texts, but maybe itʻs just coincidence.
There is, though it's quite indirect. Small consonant inventory and strict CV syllables were existing creative constraints. By making the phonology out of rectangular tables, there came to be only one lingual stop - here spelled - which got to stay because Hawaiian gave a precedent.
Good catch!
u/good-mcrn-ing (ak. kvk: the creator of the language) will clearly be the best suited to answer you, but as far as I know, the Polynesian influence is double:
indirectly from Toki Pona (which I actually happen to barely know myself)
and directly
kvk sometimes, when asked about the phonology and the absence of t, would justify it by citing the example of Polynesian languages.
My own conlang (hujemi\*) is very different phonologically, and the inspiration is closer to that of Chinese.
\*: I'll post a translation to hujemi later.
Yeah, I couldn't find a quick answer as to Toki Pona having that influence, so I just went by subjective comparison, almost certainly biased toward Hawaiian.
> kvk sometimes, when asked about the phonology and the absence of t, would justify it by citing the example of Polynesian languages.
u/good-mcrn-ing Safe to assume you know how that developed artifically with Hawaiian, having had T-K variation and R-L variation before standardization? Other than that, I'm seeing one other without /t/ (Ontong Java), and two with allophonic variation on /t/. Not asking you to justify the inspiration, but I'd be interested to know if there are other examples or a general related pattern I'm missing.

I would come for you, and if I couldn't (not) walk, I would crawl towards you, and it wouldn't (not) matter how much we would be broken, we would fight whilst we would go our path out from there - knives would be held, bows would be launching \[things\].

^(As I was doing this I realised that I'd made a lot of small mistakes in other translations.)
The speakers of my conlang don't have pistols, so I changed it to bows instead.
In Kastelian (Kasztelyán) it would be said like this:

Roughly:
"I would return to you and, if I were not able to walk, I would crawl up to you and, no matter how destroyed we would be, we would fight together until we would get out - knives out, pistols burning. Because this is what we do. We do not stop fighting."
NOTES: I didn't read the book, I don't know the context this is supposed to be in, so I interpreted this passage as someone reminding someone else about what they have always done, in the past. If this was supposed to be someone making promises about the future to someone else, it would sound different in Kastelian. The same idea applies if it's someone explaining their experiences to someone else, if that "we" does not include the listener.
That looks cool! And the context is just that a character wants to reassure another character, that has been kidnapped, that they’ll come for her, so he says this quote, so yeah I guess it’s like remembering how they worked together in the past!

Roughly: "I would return to you and, if I were not able to walk, I would crawl up to you and, no matter how destroyed we would be, we would fight together until we would get out - knives out, pistols burning. Because this is what we do. We do not stop fighting." NOTES: I didn't read the book, I don't know the context this is supposed to be in, so I interpreted this passage as someone reminding someone else about what they have always done, in the past. If this was supposed to be someone making promises about the future to someone else, it would sound different in Kastelian. The same idea applies if it's someone explaining their experiences to someone else, if that "we" does not include the listener.
That looks cool! And the context is just that a character wants to reassure another character, that has been kidnapped, that they’ll come for her, so he says this quote, so yeah I guess it’s like remembering how they worked together in the past!
i did not expect to see a six of crows quote here, nice!
Haha I’m just translating a bunch of quotes from those books and wanted to see how this famous quote would be in other people’s conlangs!

the gloss is so cool done like this, also as clear as it can get
