IF I DONT LOVE YOU
Translated from Armenian by Daniel Janoyan
Glendale, July 3, 1986
If I dont love, I dont love you,
Why is the winter so very like spring
And the winter-sun very burning,
And the silent sky so very deep,
If I dont love, I dont love you?
If you dont love, you dont love me,
Why do people, houses, pavements, and snow
Open the way for me so very lovingly,
If you dont love, you dont love me?
If we dont love, we dont love each other,
Why are the stars so very countless,
And the days and nights so very beautiful,
And the world so very noble and friendly?
