Let Us Unite
By Shushanik Kurghinian (Shoushanig Gourghinian) Translated from the Armenian by Diana Der-Hovanessian for the first AIWA International Conference, London 1994 Enough of burdens, enough of woes, pressing our shoulders, enough of those salty tears that dim our eyes. Enough of weeping; enough of sighs. Enough of old wooden rules and laws that sacrifice our youthful days and keep us behind four walls. Enough of doors slammed in our face. Sisters, let us awake and rouse the world. Let all friends try to find a way to shake off this dark unbecoming life. Our lucky men, the cocky boys should not be proud and should not boast. They would not have reached anywhere without our help, without our care. Sister, for our just cause, and place let us go forward. Let us unite for the sake of freedom’s sacred light. We are all equal and equal to the fight. |
