by Constant Zarian (1885 - 1969)
Translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

Io sono la Madre
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the Armenian (հայերեն) 
Io sono la Madre...
Per sempre, per sempre è partito
Il Figliuolo mio crocefisso.
Io sono la Madre...
Ho le pupille, ho le pupille fisse
Su la strada senza fine,
Dov'è passato il mio Signore.
Io sono il Cuore, dolore e lagrima,
Il pianto di colui ch'è morto.
Io sono la Madre, Mariam,
L'ora dell'angoscia che freme d'intorno,
La mano lucente del mio Figliuolo
Che si è crocefisso.
Io sono la Madre.
