HELLO

Far away from everyone
In the middle of a plain in the shade
Of a lone tree
My back on the warm ground
I yield to sleep
In the middle of a lonely plain
Far away from everyone
Then I dream
And suddenly through my eyelids invade
Names – faces – faces – names
Nameless faces
Faceless names
One by one, penetrating my eyelids
I dream awake
In the middle of a plain as if alone
Far away from everyone

I rise again
And tenderly I bid good evening
To the shady tree
Lonely in the middle of a plain
And beneath my feet the abundant affection
Of the ground and the grass

I leave undeterred
I leave open-armed
To embrace again
Names – faces – faces – names
Faceless names
Nameless faces
And I whisper like a prayer
–Hello to everyone


BONJOUR

Loin du monde
Au milieu de la plaine à l’ombre
D’un arbre solitaire
Couché sur la terre chaleureuse
Doucement je m’endors

Au milieu de la plaine me voilà seul
Loin du monde
Et puis je fais un songe
Et soudain m’envahissent par-dessous mes paupières
Des noms des visages des visages des noms

Des visages sans nom
Des noms sans visage
Un à un ils pénètrent à travers mes paupières
Je rêve éveillé
Au milieu de la plaine me présumant seul
Loin du monde
Je me lève
Et je dis bonsoir tendrement
A l’arbre solitaire
Et sous mes pas la chaleur à foison

De la terre et de l’herbe
Je pars sans retour
Je pars bras ouverts
Pour embrasser de nouveau
Des noms des visages des visages des noms

Des noms sans visage
Des visages sans nom
Et je murmure comme une prière

- Bonjour à tout le monde

The Armenian Poets in Song
Les Poètes Arméniens en Chansons

BIRD SOUL Several years ago, the Tekeyan Cultural Association had a celebration in New York City, honoring the 75th anniversary of the Armenian writer and poet Khachik Dashtents. I took part in the evening, interpreting two songs that I wrote using the lyrics of his poems. The text of one of Bird Soulthese songs, Armenian, which I adapted into the form of an anthem, is included in all handbooks of Armenian literature published in the Diaspora. The audience greeted the song with great enthusiasm. I believe there were two reasons for this. In the first place, its message exhorts students to speak Armenian in the countries where it is threatened with disappearance; and in the second place, I sang it with a little choir of young girls who presumably have gotten the message...

Born in Istanbul, he received his primary education at the Mkhitarist School. He received a degree in medicine. Zahrad became a pioneer of contemporary Western Armenian poetry. With his clean style, he merged unusual imagery with popular humor. His poetry has influenced many young poets.

Zahrad (Zareh Yaldizchian), 1924
Né à Istanbul, il a fait ses études primaires chez les Mkhitaristes. Il est diplômé en médecine. Zahrad est l’un des promoteurs de la poésie arménienne occidentale contemporaine. Dans un style dépouillé, il allie l’image insolite à la gouaille populaire. Plusieurs jeunes poètes ont été influencés par son écriture.
