Title: WHAT IS LOVE Style: Cinematic Ambient / Emotional Duet / Philosophical Ballad Tempo: 70 BPM Key: D minor Structure: [Spoken Intro] Lyrics — Gohar Aselesyan Music — Vahan Sometimes a single word can become an entire life... A question we search for our whole existence... And maybe... love is that very question... --- [Verse 1] What is love... A word made of just three letters — Is it an entire world, Or the whole universe, endless and without beginning... A strange feeling of weightlessness, When you don’t even feel your own body, Your whole being is filled with a light, unfamiliar air, That gives you wings, And like a sky-blue feather, Carries you into the heavens... Fly... just fly... --- [Verse 2] And what is love — A great, incomprehensible mystery, When you try to understand yourself, But suddenly find yourself in another person, When in this world you are just an ordinary human, But suddenly you can become An entire world for someone, Or carry within you The pure world of another... And you are ready To give even your life To that one person, Just so you never see them sad or broken... --- [Verse 3] When in the morning you wake up, Their image rises before your eyes, And at night, when your tired eyelids close, It is their eyes that remain within you, Before sleep takes over, And all night long, You hold them gently in your dreams... --- [Chorus] What is love... Without beginning and without end, Endless, hungry, wild, When the more you give, The more you receive From an invisible, Unending source, And the more you receive, The more you desire it, Like something insatiable... --- [Verse 4] And when it seems that your love has faded, Turned into ashes, disappeared, A gentle wind can Ignite it again and bring it back to life, Because you have kept that sacred ash Deep inside your soul, Waiting for the wind... --- [Bridge] And what is love — An idol of poets, Or the silent suffering of gods, Or maybe it is simply The short life of a mortal, Like you and me... A life that is truly too short For a great love... A life filled with love, Predestined from above... A gift given to you, A sacred heavenly blessing... Have you ever wondered, Why it was given to you... --- [Final Chorus] What is love... Is it only moments of happiness In empty days, Or the cause of silent tears And sorrow... A pursuit of perfection, Or the ability to see perfection In the imperfect, Or to make it perfect... Or perhaps a magical wand That turns the foolish into the wise, And the wise into the foolish... --- [Outro] Or is it a divine mission, A sacred command, Created by gods, Not for themselves, but for us, So that they could make us immortal, And find within us Their unfulfilled dreams... To see God within a human, And a human within God, A true miracle... Which, in one simple word, In these three letters, A mortal like us Has called love...
