Actually, the ungrammatical part is "roi".  Umm, among other things.
"na na cei" is very far from what you want.

That's an *excellent* use of ji'e, though.

How about:

    .i ba'o la'e di'e za lo masti be li re mi djuno lo valsi ji'e li
    pa pa ce'i

Please note that that use of za is not standardized; we don't know
exactly what it means yet.
