Di Whey Wi Kin Tok Bayon Na Not Di Tru Whey

道可道,非常道;名可名,非常名。
无名天地之始,有名万物之母。
故常无欲,以观其妙;常有欲,以观其徼。
此两者同出而异名,同谓之玄。玄之又玄,众妙之门。
Di whey wi kin tok bayon na not di common whey. Di nem wi kin put pan tings na not di common nem. Wen tings ain get nem, dat na di beginning of skai ond grong. Wen tings get nem, dat na di mama wey born all di tings wey be. So somtaim wi mus tri pan no want notin, jus fo luk di wonder; somtaim wi mus want somtin, jus fo luk di end. Dis two tings come from di same place bot get diffrem nem. Wi koll am deep, deep pan deep – ateli dis na di gate wey lod to all di beautiful mistri tings.
