ARMENIAN

Let’s speak and hear in Armenian

This language of Ararat

Sounds like a pure pray

And tunes in the monasteries.

Love to speak in Armenian,

This divine, golden tongue

Which fought against the iron swords

But maintained its crystal source.

Stone tablets with cuneiform

They gave us light and hope

And on the roads of delusion

They showed us the right path.

I know other languages which

Disappeared leaving no trace

Parchments and books

Its gleams have not faded away.

Speak, speak in Armenian

It sounds so beautiful,

In the songs of Komitas

Like love in the hearts.

In Armenian say your prays

If you’re living the toughest days,

The pray will be delivered

Byron was right, he was brilliant.
