Christmas Song(s) nìNa’vi on YouTube

[Plumps]

Of course not, how could we? Thanks for providing the space.

Added the links as well as the missing lyrics to the first post – enjoy. And have fun  next time you sing a few Christmas songs at a Karaoke bar

[Eyawng te Klltepayu]

I think I might take a stab at converting this old favourite.

   Oh, the rising of the sun and the running of the deer,
   The playing of the merry organ, sweet singing in the choir.

Replace deer with hexapedes, merry organ with drums... this song seems like it was made for the Na'vi!

How does this bit sound:

Ayoeng lu kelutralä txa'ta'leng!
Awngeyä sukru smaoeto leiu pxi!

[eejmensenikbenhet]

Are the songs already in the audio corpus?
Since they are checked by karyu Pawl...

[Tirea Aean]

so far i believe that section has been pretty much reserved for recordings of him.

[Eyawng te Klltepayu]

1st attempt 

I'm posting on ToS because this is where my karyu hangs out.

Submitted to Slashdot.
There was something about this in Klingon today, so why not submit the Na'vi version?
Here's the submission page.
edit: gah, missed a ]

Submitted to Slashdot.

Wou! Hope this submission gets picked up. More people need to hear these songs. I'm still working on mine atm.

PXASIK!

OK, unless anyone has any further suggestions (I'm all ears) this will be the final version. Now all I have to do is sing it or find someone who can sing it.

[Prrton]

This is super nice. I have a few questions/suggestions...

Krr a fìutral slamu fyeyn, fì'u Kelutral slamu! (Kelutral awngeyä slolu!)
Pxaya ayutral (more grammatical with 'tree(s)' as utral. Pxaya indicates multiplicity.) lu na'rìngmì ngian fì'u lu frato fkew!

Tsawke livu kifkeyru, ulte ayyerik atusul (nìteng (??)) (Wil it fit in the melody?), [livu kifkeyru]
Lefpoma (I'm not technically sure that fpom can apply to drums. What meaning do you want to convey?) ayaut stivawm Omatikayal, ulte sìrolit sleykivu [Omatikayal]
(Why are all of the verbs in the subjunctive? It sounds like a prayer (that nothing ever change? (May so-and-do, and may so-and-so) I'm just not sure. Perhaps this is coming from the original lyrics? It's not wrong. I just want to be sure.)

Ayoeng lu Kelutralä kxetse! Awngal ayhì'angit keykä!
Eywa leiu frato kusame (This is not grammatical. K-us-ame must be attributive with an attached -a-.) How about «Eywal kameie fra'uti» as an alternative with a very similar meaning?), poe (Marking gender here is redundant, but OK if you need it for the rhythm.) leiu Tsahìk kifkeyä! Some would argue that She is in a much bigger relationship to the world, but you could think of her as «Po lu Tsahìk frapeyä!» and she still keeps all those other responsibilities too. Of course, it's not wrong as you have it at all. Just an idea.

Tsawke livu kifkeyru, ulte ayyerik atusul, [livu kifkeyru]
Lefpoma ayaut stivawm Omatikayal, ulte sìrolit sleykivu [Omatikayal]

Ayoeng lu Kelutralä txa'ta'leng (bark?, If so I think just ta'leng could work, if OK with rhythm)! Awngeyä sukru smaoeto lu pxi!
Nawma sa'nokil namokx (nolokx is a bit more idiomatic) awngati, fratìrey leiu Eywayä hapxì!

Tsawke livu kifkeyru, ulte ayyerik atusul, [livu kifkeyru]
Lefpoma ayaut stivawm Omatikayal, ulte sìrolit sleykivu (What meaning do you intend for this exactly?) [Omatikayal]

Awnga lu Kelutralä ayfam! Eveng kelku si mìkam (insert 1 space here) fayvul!
Na'vi lu kawnameiea (technically you can't infix this with -ei- if in -awn-) sute, trro layu oe Eywahu

---

I love that you used «smaoe» for that comparision!! Brilliant.

Overall the meaning is great and it's a beautiful song. I only personally know the voices of Judy and Talis. Either would do your song proud!!

What song is this?

[Eyawng te Klltepayu]

It uses the tune and some of the themes of this carol

[Eyawng te Klltepayu]

Thanks for this Prrton! Always good to have a second opinion!

Here's my revised version.


Krr a fìutral slamu fyeyn, Awngeyä kelutral slolu!
Pxaya utral lu na'rìngmì ngian fì'u lu frato fkew!

Tsawke layu kifkeyru, ulte ayyerik atusul              (not sure I can fit nìteng unless I remove something else, and I like having atusul at the end of that line)
Lefpoma ayaut stayawm awngeyal, ulte sìrolit sleykayu

Ayoeng lu Kelutralä kxetse! Awngal ayhì'angit keykä!
Eywal kameie fra'uti, po lu nawma ronsem kifkeyä!

Tsawke layu kifkeyru, ulte ayyerik atusul              
Lefpoma ayaut stayawm awngeyal, ulte sìrolit sleykayu

Ayoeng lu Kelutralä txa'ta'leng Awngeyä sukru smaoeto lu pxi!      (I like the way txa'ta'leng fits the rhythm)
Nawma sa'nokil nolokx awngati, fratìrey leiu Eywayä hapxì!

Tsawke layu kifkeyru, ulte ayyerik atusul

Awnga lu Kelutralä ayfam! Eveng kelku si mìkam fayvul
Na'vi lu kawnamea sute, trro layu oe Eywahu

Wou! Progress! I've changed the iv infixes to ay. That should make things a bit more positive.

As far as 'lefpoma' drums go, i want to say that they will hear the drums that signify peace.

Leaving out nìteng is fine.

txa'ta'leng is easy to chalk up to poetic license.

Lefpoma ayaut stayawm awngeyal, ulte sìrolit sleykayu

Based on what I understand about your intention this needs a bit of work maybe:

Fpom(ì)ri ayaul munge awngar, (nì)tengfya sìrolit 'eykong
(The drums bring us (this atmosphere of) peace just as they drive the songs to unfold)

«Awngeyal» is not grammatical. It would be «awngal» or «ayoengal» (a͡i.ˈwɛŋ.al) I believe «ayoengìl» is off the board (??).

Either nìtengfya or tengfya should work. You can adjust to the rhythm.

Topical on FPOM is probably OK in this poetic context.

Nice song. 

[Eyawng te Klltepayu]

Fpom(ì)ri ayaul munge awngar, (nì)tengfya sìrolit 'eykong
(The drums bring us (this atmosphere of) peace just as they drive the songs to unfold)

Wow! That is sublime! Wish I'd come up with that.

OK, final version:

Pxaya utral lu na'rìngmì ngian fì'u lu frato fkew!

This is great! I'd like to record this and post it here, would that be alright ma Eyawng te Klltepayu? And also, how do i post audio here? I am a noob with this stuff.....

-Txonä Rolyu

[Toruk Makto]

  If you want, you can send me the mp3 of the song when you finish and I will put it in the downloads section of the main LearnNavi website for you to link to. Kind of like what we did with Talis' songs.

Ok cool! Yeah I wanted to sing Txon aMawey, Plumps wanted to hear me on Tewti ma Utral, and I also wanted to record "Holly and The Ivy" in Na'vi. Irayo seiyi! I will begin working immediately and hopefully I can have at least one song done before I have to go to my youth group's Christmas party haha.
