The Birth of the Tarmi

[tinhuvielartanis]

I'm finding the birth of a lot of things today. It must be the 10-year Paper Bag Jubilee Effect. But this one, it actually predates the Tim/Chalice connection by about 6 years or so. It's the song, the actual version of the song, that gave me the first bones of the Tarmian language (which I think I actually put in one of the Relics books, but I can't remember for sure and I don't have my files right now). I can remember the words, though.

Tarmalae Tarmalah
Charledael am pfillah
Par tima sil llomil
Tarmalae Tarmalah

Tarmalae Tarmalah
Charledael am pfillah
Par tima sil llomil
Tarmalae Tarmalah

Chel Ghathrim ampa tur llinel antan
Tur llinel llomil
Chel Ghathrim ampa tur llinel antan
Tarmi am t'homil

Tarmalae Tarmalah
Charledael am pfillah
Par tima sil llomil
Tarmalae Tarmalah

Tarmalae Tarmalah
Charledael am pfillah
Par tima sil llomil
Tarmalae Tarmalah

Chel Ghathrim ampa tur llinel antan
Tur llinel llomil
Chel Ghathrim ampa tur llinel antan
Tarmi am t'homil

Tarmalae Tarmalah
Charledael am pfillah
Par tima sil llomil
Tarmalae Tarmalah

Tarmalae Tarmalah
Charledael am pfillah
Par tima sil llomil
Tarmalae
Tarmalah

It was years later before I learnt it was a Henry Mancini theme for an Irish-based film.
