Na'vi rap Lyrics

[TrayNavi]

I was bored yesterday, so i translated a few of my favorite rap lyrics into Na'vi
Here's and example: Oeri pxal tsaw aytxime ulte oe tsun'ke lu'tsleng is the closest i could get to "I like big butts and i cannot lie"
i didn't save the others, but you get the idea.
give it a try, why don't you?
Also, i'm not brand new to na'vi, but the grammar still trips me up, so feel free to correct it.

Nong oeyä aysäeyawrìl: (Following are my corrections:)

• pxel like, as is misspelled as pxal, but it is not the kind of "like" that we want anyway. (Alas, we don't have a word for the verb "like".)
• tsawl is missing its l and it also should have had an -a at the end to indicate that it binds to the following noun. However, tsawl means big in stature or tall, the word for big in general is apxa.
• txìm is misspelled and because of the ay+ prefix should lenit to tìm.
• Apostrophes in tsun ke and lu tsleng don't belong, and each pair is two separate words.
• lu tsleng be false doesn't make sense to me as a translation for "lie", I would suggest plltxe nìtsleng speak falsely. Also, since the verb here is the subordinate to the model verb tsun, it needs the subjunctive infix.

I would write this as
Oeri lu prrte' fwa nìn apxa tìm, ulte ke tsun pivlltxe nìtsleng.
About me, it is pleasing to look at big butts, and (I) cannot speak falsely.

This actually seems to be wrong(bold, underlined part in quote), Frommer used "tsawl" in an interview to describe a big "txìm". It should probably be used to describe bodyparts as well as a person/people, instead of apxa. Not 100% sure though...

Kaltxì!

(according to Taronyu's dictionary:)
Apxa means large and tsawl means big (in size)/tall.
So an elephant is apxa, but a giraffe is tsawl for example

You're right, I forgot about that! It was the NPR interview from Dec. 15, Do You Speak Na'vi? Giving Voice To 'Avatar' Aliens. At about 2 minutes in, Frommer said:

The most memorable example of that was when Jim Cameron and Sam Worthington came up to me and said, "We've decided that the character Jake is going to be recounting an incident he had where he was bitten in his big blue butt. So how do you say big blue butt?" So I said, "uh, give me a minute." So I had big, and I had blue, but I didn't quite have butt, so I... the final word was txìm. So, my big blue butt is oeyä eana txìm atsawl.
