I composed this Esperanto song for Tamar, the cyborg mermaid who met King Alfred<\/a>, to echo through the corridors of her spaceship as she journeys through time and space. It tells of her past, her quest for truth, and her fateful meeting with King Alfred. A fusion of sci-fi and legend, the song serves as both a chronicle of her life and a prophecy of what is to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

(Verso 1)<\/strong>
Iam en la maro \u015di naski\u011dis,
Kun \u015dtalaj flugiloj, kun koro de flam’.
Tra la steloj \u015di flugis, ser\u0109ante la veron,
Ser\u0109ante pasintecon en tempo kaj son\u011d’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Refreno)<\/strong>
Tamar, Tamar, filino de lumo,
Viaj vojoj brilas tra tempo sen fin’.
La vento de spac’ vin kantas kaj vokas,
Al la re\u011do, al la estont’ sen lim’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Verso 2)<\/strong>
\u015ci vidis la mondon en brilo kaj ombroj,
\u015ci a\u016ddis la vo\u0109ojn de steloj foraj.
Sed en \u015dia koro la demando restis,
\u0108u la pasinteco ankora\u016d parolas?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Ponteto)<\/strong>
Kaj \u0109e la fino de l’ vojo \u015di trovos,
Homojn, legendojn, historion kantatan.
Kun re\u011do de l’ tero en l’ tempo perdita,
\u015ci skribos la sorton de mond’ re-imagita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Refreno \u2013 pli forta)<\/strong>
Tamar, Tamar, filino de lumo,
Viaj vojoj brilas tra tempo sen fin’.
La vento de spac’ vin kantas kaj vokas,
Al la re\u011do, al la estont’ sen lim’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Song of Tamar”<\/strong>
(Echoing through the metallic corridors of the spaceship)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Verse 1)<\/strong>
Once in the ocean, she was born,
With steel wings and a heart of flame.
Through the stars, she soared, seeking the truth,
Searching for the past in time and dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Chorus)<\/strong>
Tamar, Tamar, daughter of light,
Your path shines through endless time.
The winds of space sing and call you,
To the king, to a future unbound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Verse 2)<\/strong>
She saw the world in brightness and shadow,
She heard the voices of distant stars.
But in her heart, the question remained,
Does the past still whisper its song?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Bridge)<\/strong>
And at the end of her journey, she will find,
People, legends, a history sung.
With a king from a time long forgotten,
She will rewrite the fate of the world once begun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Chorus \u2013 stronger)<\/strong>
Tamar, Tamar, daughter of light,
Your path shines through endless time.
The winds of space sing and call you,
To the king, to a future unbound.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
