Volo de al Mondo (Want of the World)
Esperanto Blues --AI-generated world music. Some of the grooves are pretty good--almost African, like "Volo de la Mondo". I didn't spend a lot of time on the translations and it's overly syllabic, but it managed to carve hooks out of them. AI is perhaps a way to revive obscure or extinct languages through AI music.
La mondo estas pli granda ol vi pensis
Pli granda ol la insulo, kiun vi jus acetis
Pli alta ol la finfina kulmino
Kaj pli larga ol antauurbaj stratoj
Kiam vi mortas, spirito estas cio, kio restas
Via domo nun estas malplena
Spirito nun via gasto
Via hejmo ne estas via hejmo
Kaj la ludiloj, kiujn gi enhavis
Masinoj por transporti vian menson
De sufero, de doloro
Kiam falsajo farigas reala
Kaj la betono disfalos al polvo
Ni vidas kiom cio signifas
Kiom multe
Kiom multe
Pro la manko de la mondo
Kiom multe ni povus sopiri?
Pro la manko de la mondo
Pro la manko de la mondo
Ci tiu altvalora vivo estas pasema
Nun ni devas lasi gin iri
La muziko komencigas
Estas preskau la fino de la spektaklo
Ciuj diras sian lastan adiauon
En la senfina eho de sia unua saluto
Pro la manko de la mondo
Kiom multe ni povus sopiri?
Pro la manko de la mondo
Pro la manko de la mondo

The world is bigger than you thought
Bigger than the island you just bought
Higher than the ultimate high
And wider than suburban streets
When you die, a spirit is all that is left
Your house is now empty
A spirit now your guest
Your home is not your home
And the toys that it contained
Machines to transport your mind
From suffering, from pain
When fake becomes real
And the concrete will crumble to dust
We see how much everything means
How much
How much
For the want of the world
How much could we possibly miss?
For the want of the world
For the want of the world
This precious life is fleeting
Now we have to let it go
The music is starting
It's almost the end of the show
Everyone is saying their last goodbye
In the never-ending echo of their first hello
For the want of the world
How much could we possibly miss?
For the want of the world
For the want of the world
