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
