how can i fix a covered light fitting, with unusual wiring?? help!!?

The G/Y cables are Earth Cables, so keep separate from all, these need to go to an exposed connection on the fitting itself, or if none exist in a connector block. The 2 Black cables are to be connected together and connected in the terminal marked N, the 3 red cables are your problem. one of these will go into a connection marked L, the other 2 will connected to the yellow and blue, i.e. one to blue and the other to yellow. which is which you will not know if they are not marked. Im assuming two switches operate this light. if you have connected it wrong, the light will remain on permantly, if this is the case, turn electricity off and swap a red and try again. ALWAYS SWITCH OFF ELECTRICITY. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS IF YOU ARE COMPETENT ENOUGH, CALL SOMEONE WHO IS. I am an electrical Engineer with over 30 years experience.
