The book of love is long and boring No one can lift the damn thing It's full of charts and facts and figures and instructions for dancing But I I love it when you read to me And you You can read me anything The book of love has music in it In fact that's where music comes from Some of it is just transcendental Some of it is just really dumb But I I love it when you sing to me And you You can sing me anything The book of love is long and boring And written very long ago It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes And things we're all too young to know But I I love it when you give me things And you You ought to give me wedding rings And I I love it when you give me things And you You ought to give me wedding rings And I I love it when you give me things ……..And you کتاب عشق کتاب عشق طولانی و خسته کننده است هیچ کسی نمی تواند آن را حمل کند پر شده از نمودار و قانون و اشکال و ساختار برای رقصیدن اما من عاشق کتاب خواندنت هستم و تو تو می توانی همه چیز را برای من بخوانی کتاب عشق در خودش موسیقی دارد در اصل , موسیقی از آنجا سرچشمه می گیرد اندکی از آن متعالی است و اندکی از آن احمقانه است اما من عاشق آواز خواندن ات هستم و تو تو می توانی هر چیزی برایم بخوانی کتاب عشق طولانی و خسته کننده است و سالها قبل نوشته شده است پر است از گل و جعبه هایی به شکل قلب و چیز هایی که ما هنوز جوانیم برای درک اش اما من عاشق آن چیزی هستم که به من هدیه می دهی و تو تو باید به من حلقه عروسی را هدیه کنی و من عاشق آن چیزی هستم که به من هدیه می دهی و تو تو باید به من حلقه عروسی را هدیه کنی و من عاشق آن چیزی هستم که به من هدیه می دهی و تو ....
A light descended on earth I saw two footprints in the desert sands Wherefrom had it come And where was it going Only two footprints were visible Maybe somebody had stopped on the ground by mistake Suddenly the footprints started moving Light followed the footprints The footprints were lost I watched myself from the opposite direction A cavity was filled by death And I started to move in my dead corpse I could hear the sound of my footsteps from distance Maybe I was passing a desert I was imbued with a lost expectation Suddenly a light fell on my dead body And I resurrected with anxiety Two footprints filled my existence Wherefrom had it come Where was it going Only two footprints were visible Maybe somebody had stopped on the ground by mistake

We can feel the God, in very simple moments تو اضطراب عشق و گناه بی اراده In the loves anxiety and the undesired sin بی عشق عمر آدم بی اعتقاد میره Man’s life will go for nothing without love هفتاد سال عبادت، یک شب به باد میره، یک شب به باد میره And 70 years of praying will be lost just in one night, just in one night وقتی که عشق آخر تصمیمشو بگیره When all is set and done for love کاری نداره زوده، یا حتی خیلی دیره It doesn’t care whether it’s soon or it’s too late ترسیده بودم از عشق، عاشق تر از همیشه I was afraid of Love, while I was so in love than ever هرچی محال می شد، با عشق داره میشه، Whatever was impossible is getting possible with love انگار داره میشه Sounds like it’s getting possible عاشق نباشه آدم حتی خدا غریبست When you’re not in Love, even God is a stranger از لحظه های حوا، هوا میمونه و بس And the man’s life is fruitless نترس اگه دل تو از خواب کهنه پاشه Don’t be afraid if your heart wakes up from an old dream شاید خدا قصه تو از نو نوشته باشه، از نو نوشته باشه My be God has written your story from the beginning وقتی که عشق آخر تصمیمشو بگیره When all is set and done for love کاری نداره زوده، یا حتی خیلی دیره It doesn’t care whether it’s soon or it’s too late ترسیده بودم از عشق، عاشق تر از همیشه I was afraid of Love, while I was so in love than ever هرچی محال می شد، با عشق داره میشه، Whatever was impossible is getting possible with love انگار داره میشه Sounds like it’s getting possible
شلیک shooting صبح بخیر عزیزم امروز نوبت شلیک به کدام نقطه از احساس من است ؟ شعرهایم ؟ !!!! نه ... نه ... نه آسانسور طپانچه خالی را پایین می برد خانه بوی باروت می دهد و من تن زخمی شعرهایم را پانسمان می کنم و تازه یادم می آید مربای به امسال من رنگ چه بود رنگ دل من ! Shooting (a feminine gray poem) Good morning darling which part of my feeling you plan to shoot today Do you want to shoot at my poems? No the lift carries down the empty revolver the house smells after gunpowder and I dress the wounded body of my poems then I remember the color of my pear marmalade I made this year, well, it was the color of my heart! ترجمه توسط ماناواز الکساندریان...از منتخب اشعار نسرین بهجتی
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast. It is not proud. It is not rude. It is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil But rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, Always hopes, always perseveres: Love never fails..

قطار صلح اخیراً من خوشحالم به آمدن چیزهای خوب می اندیشم و من معتقدم که اینطور خواهد شد چیز خوبی آغاز شده آه اخیرا خندیده ام در رویای دنیای یگانه و من معتقدم که این طور خواهد شد روزی آن روز فرا خواهد رسید چون بیرون از حاشیه تاریکی، قطار صلح می تازد آه ای قطار صلح به این سرزمین بیا و مرا با خود دوباره به خاطر ببر به تازگی من خندیده ام در اندیشیدن به آمدن چیزهای خوب و من معتقدم که اینطور خواهد شد چیز خوبی آغاز شده آه ای قطار صلح صدایت را بلندتر کن به جلو بیا ای قطار صلح بیا حالا قطار صلح بله، قطار صلح با چرخانی مقدس همه سوار بر قطار صلح خواهند شد بیا دیگر قطار صلح چمدان ها را جمع کن، دوستان خوب خود را هم همینطور چون آنکه نزدیک است بزودی می آید و با تو خواهد بود حال بیا و به زندگی بپیوند، زندگی از تو زیاد دور نیست آن نزدیک است و به همین زودی به واقعیت می پیوندد به تازگی من گریه کردم و درباره دنیا اندیشیدم که چطور است چرا باید از زندگی متنفر باشیم؟ چرا نمی توانیم در خوشی زندگی کنیم چون بیرون از حاشیه تاریکی قطار صلح می تازد آه ای قطار صلح به این سرزمین بیا و مرا دوباره به خانه ببر ! *** Peace train Now I’ve been happy lately thinking about the good things to come And I believe it could be something good has begun Oh I’ve been smiling lately dreaming about the world as one And I believe it could be some day it’s going to comeCause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again Now I’ve been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come And I believe it could be, something good has begun Oh peace train sounding louder Glide on the peace train Come on now peace train Yes, peace train Holy Roller Everyone jump upon the peace train Come on now peace train Get your bags together, go bring your good friends too Cause its getting nearer, it soon will be with you Now come and join the living, its not so far from you And it’s getting nearer; soon it will all be true Now I’ve been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is Why must we go on hating, why cant we live in bliss Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace trainOh peace train take this country, come take me home again
Don't walk in front of meI may not follow Don't walk behind me I may not lead Walk beside me and be my friend ...Albert Camus
Love Story Where do I begin? To tell the story of how great a love can be The sweet love story that is older than the sea The simple truth about the love she brings to me Where do I start? With her first hello She gave a meaning to this empty world of mine There never be another love another time She came into my life and made the living fine Where do I start? She fills my heart with very special things With angels' songs , with wild imaginings She fills my soul with so much love That anywhere I go I'm never lonely With her around, who could be lonely I reach for her hand-it's always there How long does it last Can it be measured by the hours in the day I have no answer now but this much I can say I know I need her till the stars all burn away And she‘ll be there How long does it last Can love be measured by the hours in the day I have no answer now but this much I can say I know I need her till the stars all burn away And she‘ll be there
