Well, I was wondering why this song is here without Na'vi text - and we got it :)
Really nice work! I can't check if it is singable, but I'm sure it was translated with big care. Applause for you, ma Alyara.

Just a few notes:
Quotelumpe nulnivew oel
venut tup tsyalit oey
tup seems to me as not good here. I would try to or pair ke...ki (why I prefer legs more than wings (here is uncertainty); why I do not prefer legs but wings ?)
Quotefu fmi yivän oet
Quotear nivume fratseng
(mì)fa? frasäpom sì
ta fraskxirä 'ok nìteng
Quotenì'i'a fì'ut tslam oel
Quotefte tsive'a tìreyri
really topical here? Not patientive?
Quote(käteng nga oehu
pxiset tengkrr tsun
tìlusatemsre rivun
talun lu sopyu)
run somehow doesn't fit for me, the whole strophe has different meaning than (English) original - but probably you needed rhyme, well, it's good reason :)
Again - good work!

Yes, I put the last stanza in parentheses because it is different in the Spanish lyrics from the English lyrics, and also different from what she sings in this version.  You can just replace it with the verse that I translated earlier in the song. ;)

And as always, thanks for reading and taking time to catch my errors.  It should be completely singable to the syllable count in Spanish. :)
