Na'vi Songs

[Tymian]

Lyrics from a complex Na'vi weaving song,

Tompayä kato, tsawkeyä kato,
Trrä sì txonä
S(ì) ayzìsìtä kato,
Sì’ekong te’lanä,
Te’lanä le-Na’vi
Oeru teya si,
Oeru teya si.

Katot täftxu oel
Nìean nìrim,
Ayzìsìtä kato,
’Ìheyu sìreyä,
’Ìheyu sìreyä,
Sìreyä le-Na’vi
Oeru teya si,
Oeru teya si.

unofficial translation ( notice me if i make mistake )

The rhythm of rain and sun
Of night and day,
The rhythm of the years,
And the beat of the hearts,
Hearts of the People
Fills me,
Fills me.

I weave the rhythm
In yellow and blue
The rhythm of the years,
The spiral of the lives,
The spiral of the lives,
Lives of the People
Fills me,
Fills me.

[Hunter of the Glade]

I could jam out to that
These are how the songs actually sound (they're on the score)

[Patrice Maire]

I tried to find the lyrics and translation to the song being sung during Jake's first flight. The lyrics I found (at a stupid lyrics.com type site) just had the two letter sounds that were sung. So if there were actual Na'vi words, they were broken up phoenetically.

I remember seeing the translation of one song somewhere a while ago but can't find it now. The weaving song I did see in the Survivalist Guide but nothing else.
Anyone have a better source?

I found this a while ago:

Lyrics - Jake's First Flight

Not much, but it's all I've found

[Patrice Maire]

Thanks for the link!
It does sound like Jake's first flight is also the prayer at the Tree of Souls. I'm getting an idea on doing an English version of it based on what little translation people have done.
I just know I saw that prayer song translated somewhere! Going to have to go look at some books in the bookstore.

[Petrucho]

I've found some lyrics here --> Song lyrics from the Avatar soundtrack , reply #53 ... I had been looking for the lyrics at the end of Jake's First Flight (~3:38), and in my opinion ... this one is quite good !

UTRAL LENAWMÄ AYRINA NGAY OER

Tree great's seeds true to me

UTRAL LENAWMÄ AYRINA LU AYOER

Tree great's seeds are to us

A PXEYÄ TÍTXUR FPI NA MA KÍYÄ ÍM AYOE

which three's strength for sake of like go behind us

I didn't do this translation

[Patrice Maire]

I think I can figure out what it means from that. It's difficult to do translations just going by the words as they're presented. This is true of any language really, the context and other grammatical situations makes a difference in how it is interpreted.
Thanks!

[Human No More]

Very nice

Tree Song (Funeral Song)

Utralä (a)Nawm
ayrina’l(u) ayoeng,
A peyä tìtxur mì hinam awngeyä
N(a) aysangek afkeu,
Mì pun
N(a) ayvul ahusawnu,
M(ì) aynar
Na seze
A ’ong ne tsawke.
Utralä (a)Nawm
ayrina’ l(u) ayoeng,
A peyä tìrol m(ì) awnga.

We are all seeds
Of the Great Tree,
Whose strength is in our legs
Like the mighty trunks,
In our arms
As sheltering branches,
In our eyes
The blue-flower
Which unfolds to the sun.
We are all seeds
Of the Great Tree
Whose song is within us.


Spiral Song

Pamtseol ngop ayrenut
Mì ronsemä tìfnu
Tengfya ngop säftxuyul
Mì hifkey.
---------------------
Chorus:
Awnga rol fte kivame
Kame fte rivol
Rerol tengkr kerä
Ìlä fya’o avol
Ne kxamtseng.
---------------------
Aywayl yìm kifkeyä
’Ìheyut avomrr

Chorus repeated

Music creates patterns
In the silence of the mind
As weavers do
In the physical world.
---------------------
Chorus:
We sing to See
We See to sing
We sing our way
Down the eight paths
To the center.
---------------------
The songs bind the thirteen spirals
Of the solid world
To the eight spirit paths
Like the threads of a Songcord.
Chorus repeated

The Tree Song has to be it... thanks for those lyrics! It's just one of those things that drives you nuts in the back of your mind but really isn't that important.

(I just noticed...is Quaritch wearing a ring???? Look at that sig picture...)

I'm not sure what it is. I didn't edit it in, the original picture I used to make this had it but I don't think its a ring. He must have something inside his grip that we can't see.

[Fosus]

Oh beautiful songs !

Thanks, I finally got to know the words completely!

[Patrice Maire]

And on the topic of songs..something that just occurred to me...

Has anyone translated the song "I See You" into Na'vi?? It wouldn't parse as well but I think most of the words and concepts are right there in the language we've been shown already...
whoa. I would do it but I am not that conversant in the language to do it justice, but might go at it anyway.

[KalaKuival]

Yes, there is a na'vi version of it from in learnnavi.org

"Leona Lewis - I See You" translated into Na'vi

[Patrice Maire]

I was just trying to use the limited translator that I have access to and it wasn't translating all the words so I'm glad someone else was able to do it. The translator program I have doesn't have all the newest words so it wasn't doing a very good job.
Thanks for the link!
