Hovhannes Toumanian-The Crane

The Crane has lost his way across the heaven,
From yonder stormy cloud I hear him cry,
A traveller a’er an unknown pathway driven,
In a cold world unheeded he doth fly.

Ah, whither leads this pathway long and dark,
My God, where ends it, thus with fears obsessed?
When shall night end this day’s last glimmering spark?
Where shall my weary feet to-night find rest?

Farewell, beloved bird, where’er thou roam
Spring shall return and bring thee back once more,
With thy sweet mate and young ones, to thy home
Thy last year’s nest upon the sycamore.

But I am exiled from my ruined nest,
And roam with faltering steps from hill to hill,
Like to the fowls of heaven in my unrest
Envying the boulders motionless and still.

Each boulder unassailed stands in its place,
But I from mine must wander tempest tossed
And every bird its homeward way can trace,
But I must roam in darkness, lone and lost.

Ah, whither leads this pathway long and dark,
My God, where ends it, thus with fears obsessed?
When shall night end this day’s last glimmering spark?
Where shall my weary feet to-night find rest?

My future work

 When I was six years old I heard sound of violin by TV and I liked it very much. I asked my parents to take me to music school and to learn playing violin.

   Already seven years I’m taking violin classes and day by day it’s seems more realistic what I will be professional violinist. I’m dreaming to become world-famous violinist.

   Besides, I would like also to be programmer and use opportunities of modern information technologies in the musical sphere.
