O Fortuna

['Awpo]

Kaltxì ma eylan,

I am in the proces of translating the song O Fortuna from the Carmina Burana. And I can tell you, it's a pain in the ass! Just started on this little project and already got stuck at the first sentence...
I am using an english translation because my latin isn't what it used to be. The first line goes like this:

O Fortune, like the moon of ever changing state

I tried to translate that, using some clever ways around some words like moon, which I made the ball in the nightly sky  But I can't seem to figure out what -fixes I need to use and where I should use them. So My question to you guys is: Could you please try and figure it out for me? Also if you find something wrong in my approach please tell me.

My translation try:
Ma Forrtunä, fìfya rumìl mì txona taw fraloa latem si fya'o.

[Ataeghane]

Ma Forrtunä, fìfya rumìl mì txona taw fraloa latem si fya'o.

1. Why Forrtunä and not Fotsyìn or sth?
2. Rather na / pxel than fìfya.
3. Fralo and txon are not adj. You can't use them thus.
4. Latem si, better: leykatem.

I think that's better:

Ma Forrtunä a pxel rum a ro saw txonä fralo leykatem fya'ot.

But I don't know if that has the meannig of original sentence.

[Muzer]

Forrtunä isn't valid (rr must come after a consonant or consonant cluster)

What I would guess to be the pronunciation of "Fortuna", in my accent, I would approximate as "Fotsunä"

['Oma Tirea]

Forrtunä isn't valid (rr must come after a consonant or consonant cluster)

What I would guess to be the pronunciation of "Fortuna", in my accent, I would approximate as "Fotsunä"

Maybe the accents could be compromised as "fortsun(a)".

[Ataeghane]

Forrtunä isn't valid (rr must come after a consonant or consonant cluster)

Well, right. I didn't notice that.

And Fotsunä is not a bad idea, but still we could choose sth like Fotsìn ("Fortune", if that's ok).

[Kì'eyawn]

Maybe i missed something, but why don't you just translate Fortuna as Syay?

[Ataeghane]

Well, it seems we have missed sth. Syay seems to bo correct.

[Kì’onga Vul]

My orchestra performed the Carmina Burana last year!  My favorite movement was probably "Uf Dem Anger--Tanz."

But anyway, are you translating the lyrics just as a personal project, or is it important to you that these lyrics also be performable?  Because, looking at some other people's music-translation projects, it's really hard to match rhythm and syllable structure.  Not saying it's impossible, but just that it's difficult when you have to change the two-syllable "luna" into "ball in the nightly sky."

I'm not up exactly on how allowable proper nouns are as loan-words, but I might argue that in this case you don't need to figure out a (poetic?) expression for "moon" in general.  Most would translate the Latin as "variable as the moon," not "variable as a moon."  Here, it specifically refers to our Moon, Earth's Moon, which has the familiar cycles, etc.  A moon by definition as a satellite need not be "ever-changing" in this way.  Perhaps the name Mun or 'Rrtayä Mun / Mun 'Rrtayä would be permissible, but I'll leave that judgment to someone else.

In any case, "ball in the nightly sky" is a lot more fun and a lot more pure in terms of the Na'vi language than the previous option.  Just food for thought, though, if rhythmic considerations are important.
