As many have mentioned your English is very good.
Depending on how you are defining "Science Fiction Songs",
there are at least 100s and probably 1000s of them.
Two quick examples:
Hawkwind has done a ton of these throughout their career
of nearly 40 years. Michael Moorcock even has had performing
and/or writing credits on some of their albums. Their
"Damnation Alley" is a version-in-song of the Zelazny
story. They've written other songs with titles taken from
SF authors, such as "Lord of Light" and "Jack of Shadows"
(both Zelazny) and "High Rise" (Ballard), and the lyrics for
"Warriors" are directly taken from Moorcock's "The Eternal
Champion". The songs they've done that are merely SF-themed
is too long to list.
Mike Oldfield also wrote/performed an album called "The Songs
of Distant Earth" which he considers a soundtrack to the Clarke
novel of the same name. (If memory serves, Clarke contributed
liner notes to this album as well.)
Neat idea - have fun!
