English Zentradi Description

I know the sun will rise again.

KA-MI A MI NA HA-A PORSHUKA

My go-to phrase for first-time translations. From the song Torch Song by Yoko Kanno, featured in the OVA Macross Plus, where it is sung in the gibberish Zentradi language. Here's the lyrics plus what they're supposed to be saying in Japanese.

Álm doesn't have a sun, so the word for "star" is used instead.
