painting by Jan Toorop,1858

Ըսէ ինծի՝ ե՞րբ եւ ո՞ւր հոգին մը հավերժ հիշատակին կին պիտի գտնէ. Ես ունեի մի քրոջը. Մենք տեսանք արյան ից Ղարաբաղ. Մենք խմեց են ցաւ ից Հրազդան գետ. Ես ունեի մի քրոջը. Նա կարող էր կրակում է սլաքը, եւ կսպանեն արեւի. Աստվածների թե լաց, երբ նա երգում էր նրան բանաստեղծությունները. Իմ լեռները սիրեց քույրս. Բայց քույրս մեռած. Ոչինչ. Ոչինչ. Ոչինչ.
.
Tell me when and where to find the soul of a warrior woman. I had a sister. We saw blood from Karabakh. We drank from the pain of the Hrazdan river. I had a sister. She could shoot an arrow, and kill the sun. The gods wept when she sang her poems. My sister loved these mountains. But my sister is dead. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.

painting by Georges Clairin

painting by Georges Clairin

Լեռներ ես օրօր մէջ անվերջանալի. Անտարբեր ես են ձեր շիրմին. Ես երազում եմ որ կարող եմ խոսել ձեզ հետ. Լուսին մահիկ մը տակ հազիւ տեսանելի դու. Ես բերում քո արծաթ խնձոր. Ես բերում սուրը Անահիտի. Հոս լեռներ մէջ անվերջանալի, քույր. Անոնք էս չեն լսած ձեր մասին.
.
I ramble in these endless mountains. I am indifferent to your grave. I dream that I can speak with you. You are hardly visible under a crescent moon. I’ve brought your silver apples. I bring Anahit’s sword. The mountains here are endless, sister. They’ve never heard of you.

Do not love me as if I were a flower
I want to live a worthy life —
as if I were an atom in a mass of troubles
as a child of street mobs!
