NO ONE ELSE By Saro Gumretsi Translated from Armenian by daniel janoyan Glendale, December 30, 1999 No one else, no one else will ever understand The fiery language of my longings within this land. My heart will always remain foreign, strange and alien As one crazy regret of sinful acts. And who will ever provide me with a deep sleep? Whose longings will overcome my very longings? Who will be dreaming during dark nights without any sleep Keeping my snow-white pure love within the heart? You are with me in everything and everywhere. No one else, no one else will ever cure me How did you ever manage to remain so holy and so clean When within my pain even the lord has his own sins? At a time when people betray themselves When crucified Christ is even crucified Pardon me, O Lord, pardon me, O Love, this very moment Somewhere along the line someone is getting me a cross to be crucified! |
