Na'vi - Excerpts from my story. (Published: 03-15-10)

[Txur’Itan]

A while ago I started work on this story.  Much has changed about Na'vi since then, so take my grammar anomalies with a fist of salt.  I wanted to write it entirely in Na'vi, because the main character is supposed to be thinking in Na'vi, but my skills are not yet far enough along to do it.

Oel zene pivlltxe Eywaru sì fizayuru fa Utral Aymokriyä, fpi fpìyeve' ayupxare fraporu sì frapoyä 'evengur sì frapoyä 'evengä 'evengur.

My father pleads with my mother to forgive him, and she does not even smile.

Hahaha, it took me a few minutes to recognize how this text works 
Although I still don't understand all, phonetic English written in Na'vi is quite hard for me, can you provide translation?

It probably doesn't help that this is more pidgin than Na'vi or English.

"Txaykx mi owìtx txew txe pxawl kxame,
Take me out to the ball game

Txaykx mi owìtx wìtx txe kxaroutx;
Take me out with the crowd;

Pxay mi sume pinutx sì kxuräkxìr tsakx,
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks,

ay txonìtx kxärì txo ay ngeviru nget pxäkx.
I don't care if I never come back.

Letx mi 'rrta, 'rrta, 'rrta fpi txe kelutral,
let me root, root, root for the home-team,

Txo txey txonìtx win, itx ay tsäme,
if they don't  win, it's a shame,

fpi itx 'aw, mune, pxey takuk, ngaru lolu wrrpa,
for it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,

at the old ball game.

Nonetheless, it's a brilliant manipulation of "language" :p
