Sen Nerdesin [English translation]

sounds filtered from the main streets to the back streets,

windows closed, door locked...

the evenings got smoked on coal,

the roofs of people far from home buckled onto them,

the footsteps of the last traveller vanished into the road,

the night guard hit and cracked the sidewalk...

I got abandoned in my room like a dead man in a coffin,

my burning forehead against the wall, my waning eyes on the window,

i filled my home with flowers, saying that you are an angel,

i waited for you, saying you would appear...

candles lit themselves for you,

i left a mark on your picture from the candles' soot...

the leaves in the pot put on their best jewelry for you,

the long distances complained that you wouldn't come...

clocks hit hours with the sounds of metal,

the hours of my last night passed with their funeral,

when I was crying, the ground smiled at last,

sounds filtered from the main streets to the back streets...
