I speak of silences
with stars
silences for two
with signs
and messages
and sculptures of complicity
a soft silence like tenderness
and exhilarating Love
We recognize true love in that the silence of the other is no longer a void to be filled
but a complicity to be respected
The song “Who is beautiful, beautiful” loved by Armenians is one of the beautiful works that we always listen to with pleasure and great love. Over the years, this song based on Levon Mirijanyan’s words has been developed by various Armenian artists and presented in a unique way (recently the song was also presented in reggae style), but now it is also performed in Armenian by members of the famous American band Pink Martini.

Lyrics for Beauty, beauty ( Ով Սիրուն, Սիրուն (Ov Sirun Sirun)
Beauty, beauty, whenever I
Meet you again on my way
I burn the nonflammable memories of mine once again
My sleep and rest are lost again
Beauty, beauty, why did you come closer
Why did you know the secret of my heart
I loved you with an innocent love,
But you, unfair girl, why did you leave me?
Ah, if I see you one day
Sad and careless
I’ll be your friend and will share your pain
Won’t leave my love.
======================================
Lyrics translated in Armenian
Ով Սիրուն, Սիրուն (Ov Sirun Sirun)
Ով սիրուն, սիրուն, երբ որ ես կրկին,
Հանդիպում եմ քեզ իմ ճանապարհին,
Նորից այրում են հուշերս անմար,
Նորից կորչում են և՜ քուն, և՜ դադար:
Ով սիրուն, սիրուն, ինչո՞ւ մոտեցար,
Սրտիս գաղտնիքը ինչո՞ւ իմացար.
Մի անմեղ սիրով ես քեզ սիրեցի,
Բայց դու, անիրավ, ինչո՞ւ լքեցիր:
Ա՜խ, եթե տեսնեմ օրերից մի օր.
Դու ման ես գալիս տխուր ու մոլոր,
Ընկեր կդառնամ ես քո վշտերին,
Մենակ չեմ թողնի իմ կարոտ յարին

Look along the beaches
We have footprints
The sea has not even wiped
See why I say
Respecting my love
Send no respect for this
Forget our love
That heart that is mine
Finding the bills
Fit in another heart
You are my heart
No one likes it
Only you call
What do the tracks do?
Walk again
Untouched tracks
Love the sea beach
Only sensing for me
Traces of what is waiting
You are my heart
Someone who does not like
Only you call
What do the tracks do?
==========================================================
“When anxious, uneasy and bad thoughts come, I go to the sea, and the sea drowns them out with its great wide sounds, cleanses me with its noise, and imposes a rhythm upon everything in me that is bewildered and confused.”
“Kindness
is never weakness
if it has potential
to cause death.
So, if you can
“kill them with kindness,”
the ball is in your court.
YOU have the power!”
Picking songs for an album is an art form in itself..I tell ya! However, I loved all the songs that were recorded and it was so hard to leave some off. There’s some really special songs in there and I hope you enjoy them!
“Snow flurries began to fall and they swirled around people’s legs like house cats. It was magical, this snow globe world.”
Special thanks to all my fans who participated.

=======================================
My caress goes away without cause,
I got my fingers … In the wind, when passing,
the caress that wanders without destiny or object,
the lost caress who will pick it up?
I could love tonight with infinite piety,
I was able to love the first one who came right to get there.
Nobody arrives The flowery paths are alone.
Missing car, roll … will shoot …
If in the eyes you kiss this night, traveler,
if the branches shudder a sweet sigh,
If you oppress your fingers a small hand
It takes you and leaves you, it gets you and leaves.
If you do not see that hand, or that mouth that kisses,
If it’s the air who weaves the illusion of kissing,
Oh, traveler, you have the eyes like heaven,
In the molten wind, will you recognize me?

And You My Love”
I do not sleep tonight
I might not ever
The sins of the past have come
See how they sit down together
Outside my window
Outside my door
And I know the reason
What they’ve all come here for
You my love, my sweet, sweet love
Are what it’s all, because of
Surrender is easy
I know you do me no harm
But your innocence haunts me
The most fatal of charms
Oh I must have done some wrong
On a dark and distant day
For I know full and well tonight
This is how that I must pay
And you my love, my sweet, sweet love
Are what it’s all, because of
You my love, my sweet, sweet love
Are what it’s all because of

If not for you, I wouldn’t know
What true love really meant.
I’d never feel this inner peace;
I couldn’t be content.
If not for you, I’d never have
The pleasures of romance.
I’d miss the bliss, the craziness,
Of loves sweet, silly dance.
I have to feel your tender touch;
I have to hear your voice;
No other one could take your place;
You’re it; I have no choice.
If not for you, I’d be adrift;
I don’t know what I’d do;
I’d be searching for my other half,
Incomplete, if not for you.
