Sayat-Nova’s poetry featured in "The Color of Pomegranates,

Original Armenian

"Indzi sirun ashkharh, im gair, indzi dzyuner, im dushman,

Indzi mtatsel indzi gzavor, indzi yev voch indz uzum."

English translation:

"My tears are blood because of thee, my reason is o’erthrown.  

A young vine in the garden fresh thou art to me, my fair,  

Enshrined in greenness, and set round with roses everywhere.  

I, like the love-lorn nightingale, would hover over thee.  

A landscape of delight and love, my queen, thou art to me!"

--- The Color of Pomegranates" (Armenia) is inspired by Sayat-Nova’s verses, in the original text and translation in English
