Would "Me talking to you" be an equivalent of "mi do tavla", without temporal tense? Or did I miss the point?
Suppose I utter {mi do tavla .i ba go'i}. {ba go'i} means "the previous utterance, logically, but with a future tense". English has no satisfactory translation for this entire phrase; the closest we might come is, for example, "I'm talking with you. In the future."
I'm sure there are some things which can't be translated nearly as clearly into English, but i don't think this is one of those things.
