AN ARMENIAN IN PARIS THE STORY of La MarieLena
the snow it was falling
when I first came
to zis small Parisian cafe
now za leaves zay are falling
it is all za same
in zis small Parisian cafe
it is all za same
za longing, za sadness
but I play za game
I smile
but it is za same
while za snow is falling
outside zis Parisian cafe
or za leaves are falling
night time is falling
daylight is ending
there are no new beginnings
not in zis small Parisian cafe
snow it was falling
daylight was ending
no new beginnings
just remembering
just remembering
once I loved
now I am longing
as za snow is falling
as za leaves are falling
as night time is falling
in zis small cafe
at za very end of day
my love has gone away
and I stay all alone
in zis small Parisian cafe

THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG
Armenian music was playing -
the sense of loss and more loss.
In most of the pieces,
the sense of loss was
too heavy for words.
That feeling is pervasive in much Armenian music,
coming from heavy losses in Armenian history -
most powerfully, from the 1915 genocide
of at least 1.5 million Armenians
by Ottoman Turkey.
Still ... in one piece, the tone was lighter -
and words came to me,
words fitting, not stories of devastation -
no words there -
but words fitting ... light sorrow ...
light
lost love poems,
light sad love poems,
light poems about eternal loss and longing ...
They are
words from la MarieLena,
an Armenian in Paris,
sitting forever alone
in an small Parisian Cafe.
She was alone.
Love had gone.
Loss.
"Za snow it was falling ... "
The seasons changed.
Her sense of loss did not.
"Now leaves zay are falling ... "
The time of day?
"Night time is falling ..."
So, lost love poems ...
in a small Parisian cafe.
from La MarieLena
There's the Argentine tango,
the American rock and roll,
and then ... the Armenian ache ...
so much lost ...
never to come again.

A dozen
years ago,
I began to wake up
with word pieces -
words music, spoken word, songs -
in my head.
Escape velocity.
Echo of the echo.
Tank almost empty.
Can't cross the gap.
Welcome into my world.
SAD SAD SAD
LOST LOVE POEMS, LYRICS, SONGS
In a Parisian cafe
the Armenian mood is heavy.
Loss and longing.
Loss and regret.
The past can never come again.
Is it cafe music? French cafe music?
Lost love music, poetry ...
the feeling of longing for lost love,
the feeling there will never again be love.
Poems about lost love
bring up such feelings of sadness, longing ... and loss.
Lost love lyrics
lie heavy on the heart.
