st: How can I label a variable with a combination of two value labels

I have two value labels lbl_c and lbl_p that take 2 and 20 values respectively
I also have 40 variables of the type var`i'_`j' where i = 1/2 and `j' = 1/20
I want to label each variable var`i'_`j' with a combination of lbl_c `i' and lbl_p `j'
For a single label I would use -- label variable var`i' "`:  label lbl `i' '"
I tried various combinations of quotes of the form -- label variable var`i'_`j'  "`"`:  label lbl `i' '" "`:  label lbl `j' '"'", but I always get a syntax error message.
Does anyone know the correct combination of quotes that would make this work?
