Ուրիշ Աշխարհ

Այսօր իմ սենյակում աստղեր չկան,
Իմ սենյակում այսօր վարագույրները փակ են,
Եվ իմ կյանքի բեմում կեղծանուններ չկան,
Որովհետև բեմի հետևում ես մենակ եմ։
Եվ ուրեմն…
Ես գնում եմ ուրիշ աշխարհ,
Որտեղ չկա, չկա քո պատկերը,
Գնում եմ ուրիշ մի աշխարհ,
Որտեղ չկան ձևական քո խոսքերը,
Քո սերը,
Տանում եմ ինձ հետ իմ արևը,աստղերը,
Քո սերը,ժպիտները, ամպերը…
Այն ամենը ինչ քեզ է նվիրված,
Ես տանում եմ ուրիշ աշխարհ։
Առանց աստղերի ես աշխարհում անհնար եմ,
Ինչպես առանց սիրո պոետի կյանքը դժվար է,
Երգս քեզ համար սիրելիս իսկզբանե բացասական է,
Դա երևի նրանից է որ ալկոհոլի չափը, մի քիչ շատ է.
Բայց միևնույն է…
Ես գնում եմ ուրիշ աշխարհ,
Որտեղ չկա, չկա քո պատկերը,
Գնում եմ ուրիշ մի աշխարհ,
Որտեղ չկան ձևական քո խոսքերը,
Քո սերը,
Տանում եմ ինձ հետ իմ արևը,աստղերը ու սերը ժպիտները, ամպերը…
Այն ամենը ինչ քեզ է նվիրված,
Ես տանում եմ ուրիշ աշխարհ։
Ուրիշ աշխարհ,Ուրիշ աշխարհ…
