Kaltxì!

A friend of mine (Hifkey'Tìranyu) composed this song. He played the guitar and I sung it.

Here's the file.

Here's the text.

Thanks for listening.

Kaltxì eveng te Eywa'eveng

[Nanaki]

Kaltxì ma tsmukan !

No words to describe that ...

So impressive, I love it !! Karma for you !!

Irayo ulte Eywa ngengahu !

[Muzer]

That's awesome! I really need to get on hammering some Na'vi into my head so I can fully appreciate this! I've just about learnt most of the possible noun pre- and suffixes (certainly the most common ones), not including adpositions, but for some reason the verb infixes seem to be much harder to learn. And I haven't even started with vocab yet :/

[Hifkey'Tìranyu]

I've learned the language by writing this Song^^
Glad to hear that you like it. Now I've got the motivation to go on and maybe to write an other one.

livu Eywal poeyä tsyokxit lehawnu io aynga!

It would be epic !! I've heard the song many times now (more than 20)

I've just tried to translate this to try to learn more Na'vi:

Song about Avatar's story.

Part 1

I am a skyperson, I am Jake Sully.
I have arrived in a far-away world
I was a brave warrior - now my
two legs are dead.
With my Avatar,
I can run again now!
Outside, first day and a
mighty thanator hunts me.

Middle Part 1

war will come, watch out!
the two war parties are ready!
a strong leader will come
he will hold off mighty demons
he will bring peace and
he will protect the land

Part 2

One female Na'vi saves my life
Eywa just gave a sign to her
I see the world through different eyes
That life is fair
I learn much and
I pass all tests
I capture a banshee; I start to fly; I am a man
I bond together with Neytiri

Middle Part 2

war will come soon, watch out!
the two war parties are ready!
a strong leader will come soon
he will hold off mighty demons soon
he will bring peace soon and
he will protect the land soon

Part 3

Sky people start the forest's destruction
They are like evil demons
I didn't speak truly, so I'm neither a part
of the Skypeople, nor the Omatikaya.
I come again as rider of toruk
I guide
many clans to this place and I
will soon stop this insanity

Middle Part 3

war starts now, watch out!
the two war parties are ready!
a strong leader is here
he will hold off mighty demons soon
he will bring peace soon and
he protects the land

Part 4

Sky people will try to destroy the Tree of Souls soon
Our arrows are sharp
And spirit is strong; we are ready.
We *will* not abandon by giving up!
Horses attack metal warriors
Banshees attack gunships
we
drive out the evil sky people with Eywa's help

Middle Part 4

Peace just came, watch out!
the two war parties are ready!
A strong leader
is here. He just held off mighty demons
he just brought peace and
he protects the land.

Part 5

Many brothers and sisters died. The demons left
It won't need rider of toruk. I
*will* stay here, don't go back again
I went through Eywa's eye
Now I am not a skyperson!
But now I am Na'vi!
I am mated with pretty Neytiri

Middle Part 5

Peace comes, watch out!
the two war parties are ready!
Rider of toruk is not needed
He held off mighty demons
Eywa protects life
and she protects the land.

Jake Sully speaks saying "good-bye"

Some bits do sound a bit odd and I think I might have done them a bit wrong, but one line I got really confused on is "Ayoeng ke txasyìng fa tìtxey." - the "with halt (noun)" at the end. What would you get if you turned halt into a noun?

EDIT: Thanks Hifkey'Tìranyu, fixed this

[Hifkey'Tìranyu]

"Ayoeng ke txasyìng fa tìtxey" should mean something like:
"we will not abandon by giving up"

I have to excuse my terrible english, my mothertongue is german.
So i hope you understand what I mean.

to translate the whole text I need mor time^^

[Muzer]

Ah, yes, that makes sense! I was trying to think of a noun that could vaguely have the meaning of "to halt", that definitely fits!

[Plumps]

to translate the whole text I need mor time^^

As always, my friend, I can help you with that

*nìfrakrr, ma 'eylan, prrte' lu oeru krr a tsun srung sivi ngar

[Fnua Atxkxe]

 

That is amazing, well done

KARMA!!!!!

[Rikxyu]

I love it! It's a great way to learn. I can't get it out of my head. Karma for you both!

[oe lu kameyu]

Can you give me the tab please ? I'm a skxawng in music ^^

[Hifkey'Tìranyu]

When you open the link on the top, you can find the lyrics. And there are the chords too.
You have to use a capo in second Fret. Or you have to sing two half steps lower 

[redes1]

please make more you two are really good at this. i wish i could play the guitar or sing na'vi like that.

[Teyl Maktoyu Ayfìwopxä]

Thanks for listening.

Kaltxì, ma Talis. Great job, as usual. I'm creating a Czech translation just now, but I think there are some minor mistakes in the text:

• afkeu -> should be afkew (mighty, adj.), I think
• hayawnu -> what does it mean, can not be found in the dictionary. Shouldn't it be tìhawnu?  ... ulte hayawnutìhawnu atxkxeti = ... and protection to the land
• tutean -> should be tutan, in song sounds correctly

Can you give me explanation? Irayo.

[Plumps]

Look at when this was written The time factor slowly starts to play a role in Na'vi That's an explanation for the 'older' forms of fkew and tutan (we simply didn't know it back then).

hayawnu comes from hawnu => h‹ay›awnu
Is it clearer now?

'protection to the land' would imply at least a tìng ... in this case, atxkxe would get the dative marker -ru/-r instead of -ti but 'will protect the land' is completely valid

[Talis]

Back then in the old days we weren't that good, I thing there are many mistakes, which we weren't aware of.
