Salas: "D'you know the sailor's lament?"
Phan-tu Xenn: "I—I'm sorry. I don't."
Xiri A'lbaran: "I do."
―Salas' dying moments on E'ronoh[1]

The sailor's lament was a song known to the Eirami and the E'roni, the citizens of the Outer Rim planets Eiram and E'ronoh, respectively, by the time of the High Republic Era.[1] In 382 BBY,[2] the dying Eirami soldier Salas asked his prince, Phan-tu Zenn, if he knew the sailor's lament. Though Zenn did not, his betrothed—the E'roni Princess Xiri A'lbaran—did know the musical piece and sang it to Salas in his final moments.[1]
