I plan to sing this.

I just need the right Na'vi for it.

I played with a few ideas. But, some concepts evaded circumlocution for me.

Such as Sìleypxel and kxarotx

I had some long drawn out name for White Christmas, and one version was "white skyperson celbration", which seemed more odd to me than teyra tompa sì ftxozäti.  Since the idea is to be poetic on saying snow for the name of the song, I kind of like "teyra tompa" to accomplish this.


------------------------------

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
just like the ones I used to know
where the treetops glisten
and the childeren listen
to hear sleighbells in the snow

I'm dreamin of a white Christmas
with every Christmas card I write

May your days be merry and bright,
and may all your Christmases be white

(Instrumental)

May your days be merry and bright,
and may all your Christmases be white

---------------------------------------

Oel teyra tompa sì ftxozäti unil si.           **
Oel ftxozäti nìtengfya almomum.              **
tsakrrìri ayvulä fäpa letanhì                    **
ulte ayevengìl tìng mikyun                      **

Oel teyra tompa sì ftxozäti unil si              **
fpi fraftxozäyä << kxarotx >> oel pamrel si. **

Ngaru fratrr atxanatan akosman tseykunslu **

Nice attempt, but some grammar brushing will be necessary :) (let's wait for TA's version...)

Ma Tirea, great work! No wonder you are our language master...

Ke pxan ;) :D

No one really is a master. And of course there are many other interpretations out there that would be just as good as this one. There are usually more ways than one to say things. ;) And also, I am a tutan alu capable of error. (as always, correct me for karma)

Anyone remember the collection of Na'vi Christmas songs we had a year or two ago? It would be great to finalize this one and add it to the mix.

Tirea radio holiday theme?  ;)

Here's one of them, can't seem to find the original topic. I think Frommer had them on his blog, though.

Edit: Found the original topic, they should totally get added to the stickied song listing srak?
