Let's Dance From Birth to Death by Vagif Bayatly Oner (born 1948) Let's dance, Two-by-two! One-by-one! Let's dance, From birth to death! Let's dance Even when in tears, With no stop and interruption, From under our feet Let the rhythm move Back and forth. Let's dance, Raise the old man from his coffin. I can see from his shroud How he moves his arms and legs, He is unwilling yet To make his way to his grave, Raise him to his last life dance, As well as his first death dance. Also raise the baby from its cot I can see in its eyes It's his music being played. Rise, baby, rise! Let's dance Arm-in-arm, hand-in-hand with everyone! Be forbidden from now on Kiss of lips and kiss of cheeks, Let the names of lovers Kiss each other, Let the wings of garments, The tunes of feet flying high, And the breath of fingers Swinging light, Kiss one another. All dancing Face-to-face, eye-to-eye, Let's cross beyond countries And over the seas, all dancing, Let's go beyond this world and cross the universe. And also, in the heavens Hand-in-hand, arm-in-arm forever! Look how both angels and devils are moving, Dancing side-by-side, and together with the stars, God is also applauding you.
