Word, my word
Varoujan: Shahyar Ghanbari
and the wind will come sooner or later will take our words with them,
so Sepidar will say to the soil, the butterfly to the candle of the moon, the
lover to the leopard, the plant to the light, and the fish to the water
. I wish we had said it sooner
, if I am green, if I am a forest, if I am a fish, if I am a sea
, if my name is everywhere, if I go to the Ganges, like Mary, if I am
pure, if I have a light on my cross, if I am a treasure under the earth, if I am a
leaf tall, I
will be satisfied with my death
before you, if I am as pure as a temple, if I am in love like a
Hindu, like a port for a boat, if I am a boat like a paddle
, if I am a picture of forty columns, if I am a city without a fence
for Arash. The last arrow, for the road, a rider
for you, I am satisfied with my death,
if I am the most precious stone on earth, in the summer I will snow your hands
, if the beautiful words of every book I have, for your name, I will say my word,
if I am a drop in front of you, if I am a needle in front of you, if I wear a
long robe of any tree, before you I am the size of a button-down
shirt for you, before you I am satisfied with my death
if I am bitter. Like a curse, if you are as sharp as a barrage,
if it is an old wound, if you hate a pain,
if you are a cup of hemlock, you are as dear as water,
if you are afraid, if you are afraid, like dying in a dream, I am willing to die for you, I am willing to die for you, I am satisfied with my
death
for you, I am satisfied with death for you, I am satisfied with death before you.
