They who say I love you

They who say I love you
آنان که می گویند دوستت می داریم
By Ahmad Shamlu (احمد شاملو)
Translated by Mortez

They who say I love you,
sad minstrels,
who lost their song

May it be with love,
a speaking tongue

A thousand cardinals, in your eyes
A thousand silent canaries, in my throat

May it be with love,
a speaking tongue

They who say I love you,
sad hearts of a night,
looking for their moonlight

May it be with love,
a speaking tongue

A thousand laughing suns, serving you
A thousand crying stars, begging me

With love may it be,
a speaking tongue.
