I chose to use the different meaning of "know" in this situation, meaning "to know a person, to have met someone" (uiŧo), which is a completely separate word from "to know or have knowledge about (something)" in Fiori (beiŧo). The latter is in fact a synonym with "to see" and shows up several times in other lines of this translation.

Note that in the song there are two spots where I made a mistake in translating that I didn't catch until now, which is "ab-abō lei" instead of the more correct "la lei ab abō"
I have corrected the translation itself but the words in the song are one tiny sound off on those lines
