My Favorite Armenian Song

Ms. Oberman, I would like to share with you one of my favorite Armenian songs. It is a slow song called Patker which translates to face, except not just one's face. It's more like the way someone's face looks; the individual behind the beautiful face. I really can't describe it. I am translating it for you on the bottom because it is so beautiful. You can listen and follow right along.
Just thought I'd share. :) Who doesn't like a good love song? Enjoy.

Patker
My paint brush is asking me who's face (patker) am I painting.
The painting's flower is silently smiling at me.
Taking the picture in my hand, I can tell him,
And, overcome (choked up) with emotion, I begin to speak without end.

Chorus:
"You are my light. You are my hope,
The symbol of my love.
Whenever I see you, I become filled with Pride;
I am able to feel your warm embrace.
You are the key (secret) to my  heart.
You are the sunlight of my life.
I am forever Painting you, and your face (patker) unlike any other,
is like a blossom, breathing in,
everlasting and without wilt,
and the colors brilliantly glitter on your face."

And only the paint brush feels the sorrow I live in from missing her;
Pushing me forward and giving me strength (the paintbrush) pours out color. (I'm not quite sure the exact translation of this line. Something like that. )
Your face suddenly becomes alive, and my torture is lifted,
and, again, I enter my Dream and begin to Live.


Chorus:
"You are my light. You are my hope,
The symbol of my love.
Whenever I see you, I become filled with Pride;
I am able to feel your warm embrace.
You are the key (secret) to my  heart.
You are the sunlight of my life.
I am forever Painting you, and your face (patker) unlike any other,
is like a blossom, breathing in,
everlasting and without wilt,
and the colors brilliantly glitters on your face."
