As for selbri with different number of arguments they definitely don't = get extra arguments.

=A0 =A0There the= y are part of a tanru. =A0You in fact have no defined arguments at all, and= when you did have them, they would be the arguments for ckule, not those o= f melbi or cmalu.

So is it possible to say {.u&#= 39;i se janbe je vitno} ?

<= div>=A0 Certainly it's possible. =A0It means "<amusement> A = bell sound-and-permanent thing!" (although why you introduced =A0the i= dea of permanence into the song, I'm not sure. =A0Because of "...a= ll the way"? =A0If so, I'd suggest ".i ve'e janbe se / sa= nce.ije nu" (or ve'e->"vi'i" or "ze'e&qu= ot;)

I don't prefer an= y specific ideas here. If you can fit into the rhythm please post your vers= ions.

I'm sure we should keep several translations to please = everybody.

=A0

Now I suggest more alternative translations.=

=A0 Yes, the meaning of the second =A0sentence works better n= ow.

=A0

.i se sakli marce

=A0I think your meter isoff on this one, although your meani= ng is fine

=A0
=A0
=A0=A0
Is the meter off in {snim= e foldi .iu} ? There are 5 syllables as in the original.

=A0 No, I meant in line three. =A0The song= wants to stress the MA in "klama"
=A0

In the original there is

{Though the fie= lds we go} which matches {.i mi klama fo lo}

But it doesn't match. =A0(And FW= IW it's "O'er", not "Through", but that's n= either here nor there.):

=A0THROUGH(/OE'R) the FIELDS we GO = =A0(XxXxX) (5 syl)

=A0i mi KLA-ma fo LO (xxXxxX) (6 syl)

=A0Now, I am assuming = you are trying to stress ".i" which is a bit unnatural, I think, = for songs in lojban. =A0And you can certainly cheat it in as a throwaway un= stressed syllable at the beginning of the line, since it's followed by = a stress. But even if you DO stress the ".i", you are trying to s= tick two unstressed syllables in the space of one, which really doesn't= work. (although you could be intending to stress "fo", not "= ;lo" as I have it here, in addition to the ".i". =A0That wou= ld be better, but if that's the case, then you should move to the "= ;lo" to the next line.

=A0

=A0

Or:
.u'i lo janbe ku
san= ce ca lo nu
mi =A0se sakli carce fi
lo pamei xirma ku

=A0 Sorry, same as before. =A0A bell is not a= sound.

=A0 You didn't like my suggestion of s= akli -> skiji?

I like it. I just don= 9;t know how to fit it in. .uu .u'i=A0

Ummm.. where's the problem? =A0Wher= e you have the word "sakli", substitute in "skiji". =A0= They have the exact same rhythm.

You got it wrong. {lo'e} is = a gadri, in the same sema'o as {lo} and
{le}. {lo'e janbe} is a typical bell, while {janbe lo'e} is no more=
grammatical than {janbe le}.
I suppose you wanted to use {zu'i}. (I haven't seen it used so far)=

OK, sorry, it's an open question, as I was told some time ago. Bu= t
it's weird to me.

I would translate it as {lo vitno sance be lo janbe} or {lo vitno se<= br> janbe} (or cimni instead of vitno? I don't know)

It's nice that you like it! {se salcarce} is quite a tongue twist= er
though, isn't it?
