Can you please post some sample input and output?  There are a dozen possible 
answers, but it is impossible to tell what you really mean.

Either way, though, the answer will likely end up using <xsl:key> and key(), 
so you might investigate those.  Also investigate the local-name() function, 
which will give you the name of an element not including its namespace 
prefix.  If I'm interpreting your question right, you could do this:

<xsl:key name="label" match="/test/common/labels/*" use="local-name(.)"/>
...
<xsl:for-each select="/test/common/fields/*">
  <xsl:value-of select="key('label', local-name(.))"/>
</xsl:for-each>
