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)

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 twister though, isn't it?
