our bond is home, tivra

 

Elio (English):
I send my voice into the dark,
a lantern lit for you alone.

 

Glordon (Elioese):
Zaloo-lunari, oona shava-lanari.
(Greeting among stars, friend—lantern of gratitude.)


 

Elio (English):
Though silence stretches like an ocean,
I still feel your laughter in the waves.

 

Glordon (Elioese):
Moro-esh kai, zaloo-vel glordon.
(Apartness as vow, yet greeting carries Glordon’s name.)


 

Elio (English):
The journey is long, but I will not falter—
our bond is stronger than the miles.

 

Glordon (Elioese):
Veyna-uno, oona tivra-esh’kai.
(The singular journey, friend, becomes home as vow of peace.)


 

Elio (English):
So when the stars burn low and fade,
I will still call you brother of light.

 

Glordon (Elioese):
Lunari-vel shava, oona zaloo eterni.
(Among the stars gratitude shines, friend—greeting eternal.)
