Narrator: The Legend Synopsis In a dark night, a frenzied he who has fallen in love with an elusive hue, is sitting in a cold and secluded vale, like a withered plant, and tells a gloomy tale. In this all too tur- bulence, there is story of livestock and grain. And he has spoken of everything, but what is unsaid is the message of lovelorn. The story of pain: Lover: – “O my heart, my heart, my heart! Poor, distressed, my deserved! O my poor heart! why you fell by the way of salvation? O my heart! you could save yourself if the times did not deceive you. You are only a victim of yourself. Every time you find a way and a reason to fight with me, O mad!” Narrator: And make a friend of the “Legend” with compassion and inebriation. All flee from her, but you are both compatible. She will not find any enamored better than you. Legend: An enamored who has not seen anyone like him in this slippery slope. Ah! For long this story is said: A bird has flown from branches, only its nest remains. But these nests are all captured by the winds. The followers are on this path and in this sorrow sing doleful- ly... He was one of the followers. Narrator: You were depressed for years in this ruined cave and under the heavens and stars, and to relieve the pain of what happened to the broken heart he kissed you and you her... Lover: We were depressed for years, like failures. But the turbulent wave had a story about you. Your lips were smiling in that wave. Legend: I saw on that turbulent wave a hectic lone rider. Narrator: But! Lover: I encountered a rosy-cheeked with curly tresses like a mystery, an angry whirlwind. O Legend! Are you my destiny that you are so distressed and confidant? Are you my heart full of agitation or my tearfully eyes? Are you cursed Satan? Are you my heart full of struggles that you are so anonymous and obscure? Are you my substance that you are not looking for prosperity and reputation? Are you my fortunes that you run away from me? Everyone drive you away, unaware of the fact that you’re immortal. Who are you? O driven from everywhere! Have you ever been friendly with me? Are you tear or sorrow? O Legend! Tell! Answer me! Legend: No longer ask! O afflicted! My heart bled from your words. I believed you are drunk by sorrow. Anyone who’s sorrowful, has many sayings. O lover! You know me well: I am a wanderer of the heavens. I am a veteran being, a defendant of enamored forlorn. The old mother scares the children stiff by me in a dark night. I am an unfinished tale. Lover: Are you a tale? Legend: Yea! Yea! I am a tale of a restless lover, a hopeless full of disquietude that who lived in grief and vigil for many years in sadness and isolation. I have been once a lass. I have been a dear sweetheart. With eyes full of riot, I have been a lone charmer. I came and sat on a grave... in one hand my handmade lyre and in the other one a chalice. Before I play a pleasing ballad, my black eyes opened and I wept blood. Narrator: At that moment, the face of the bloody cloud was dark on the horizon. A loud conver- sation ensued between the terrain and the heaven. The smoke went up from the roof... What the people’s muddy hands was making in those mountains? But alas! from that moment, the residents no longer earned. Years passed... A fleeing deer ate all the leaves of one branch... Other voices were heard... Lover: O Legend! The thorns are those who have closed the road to the rose garden. The thorns do not turn a hair against a storm, but the flowers do not endure a wind. Do not hide your words... Say what is in your heart in your own words – even if nobody likes that. Of course, you can conceal your secrets from the people, but to keep silent for fear of get yourself talked about is a flaw for an ingenious person. The heartbroken do this, not one who wants to be reputed; even if one does not count on him. In this burning world, we shall pour out our heart: Who was in those other huts? Narrator: The night was dark and silent... A severe and cold wind was blowing. There was a flame inside the hut. Suddenly a girl came out of the hut and as she was ululating like an owl said: O my heart, my heart, my heart! Legend: She sighed and fell in his mother’s arms and became cold. What really humbled this enamored girl? A fatal love. I am Love! I am purpose of life! I am the world lighting! I, the Legend, am the heart of lovers! If there is a body and a soul, it is me! born of love and child of tear. What happened previously one day it was like the fountain of life, just like today. That’s the whole point: seize the opportunity. The treasure is at home, but the heart is distressed. What for? Is not the lawn charming? Do not complain. Get up and see how the winter was over. Narrator: The forest and the mountain are reviving. The world came out of darkness, unveiled his face, and laughed like a lightning. The snow melted. The mountain peak was completely pied. The shepherd came out of the cellar and smiled happily, because it’s time to graze. Legend: O lover! Get up because it is springtide. A small fountain gushed from the mountain. The flowers grew in desert like fire. The dark stream flowed like a storm. The plain is col- orful with flowers. That bird is building a nest, twittering on the branches, and gathering thorns. The green branches germinate at any moment. Lover: Ah the Legend! let me alone. All of this is a deception. My heart is deprived of joy. What an illusion is perception and enthusiasm and rejoicing! The unaware is glad and the aware is sad. Nothing makes me happy and smiling. I have given everything to the fairground in exchange for buying a lost happy day. O alas! Alas! Alas! All seasons are dark for me. As far as I remember, my past have always been full of perplexity and un- pleasantness. An anonymous ravished my heart and then suddenly he got lost. I am still attached to him... Narrator: The wind wails in the hills. Now, the fox howls. It seems that the mountains and forests are the arena of foxes. The birds have slept on the trees... Lover: Ah the Legend! It has tired of the world, closed his eyes, and fallen asleep. It is im- mersed in another illusion. O Legend! Leave me! Leave me alone! I do not want to ask my fortune a thousand questions: How did the roses blossom? What happened? What complaint does it have now? And how the winds faded it? Everything I’ve seen has been a dream to me like milking the ram. Was love like a delirium, or a crapulence, for me? O my companion! What tumult was that? Narrator: The flame had been burning until the dawn. The severe wind was blowing. It seems that some have gone in that narrow abyss, and some remain under the wall of cedars and boxes. The shape of the wall is heavy and silent. The mountain peak fell in. The cuckoo lost his nest. The thrush remained on the ruins, and forgot his mate... Legend: O lover! Were these really your words? So many things can be said. You can cast doubt on the whole lot. You can keep silent like night. You can be obedient like servant. But love is flying night and day, intellect is involved in mystery every day, and the man is in this fray. But there is not a thing except this: We are partners of each other. Whatever we do, the people see it as it is. Now, get up and walk in this way, because we do not know about the dead. The only thing that remains of us is the positive and negative roles that we play in the story of life. You want me and I want you. So what is this vainglory, jest, and arrogance? Are you ragging on me? Lover: O Legend! I am not looking for someone else’s love... I am born in the mountains. The clouds have brought me. It’s better for me to be in the grasslands with the spring that embrace me. I do not want anyone to conquer my heart, because it is the nest of some- body else. Although my nest is desolate, but I imagine it is full. I am delighted with the imagination. Legend: Ah, love! I am more delusive than any other deception. I am older than any lie. I am driven by the sages and admired by you that living in the solitude of mountain. There is only one truth: Be what you ought to be! It is a deception to find own way at any rate: blindfolded and entangled. We are what we are. Lover: Ah, Legend! You are right! If we make a mistake, it’s our fault. Once upon a time, if there was an opportunity, we would be more than happy with each other. We will be sympa- thetic, consentient, and congruous. You are a lie, a pleasant lie. You are a sadness, a very beautiful sadness. There is no demand for my love and heart. I leave them to you so that you leave yourself to me. Narrator: Ah, lie! sadness! good and evil, you! Who said you got up? Who said you walk this way, like a flower on the branches, like a moonlight in the garden? Ah, the heart of lovers! the Legend! O you who played thousands of roles for the time! O you who played thou- sands of immortal songs! O you who kissed the lovers more and more! Hide me behind the clouds so none but an angle hears my voice in the heavens, and so none reads these words but a lamenting lover. Shed my teardrops on her cheeks. Put my groans in her heart. Settle my wandering soul into somewhere that come wail and fire out from the hearts. Lo! Come forth from this narrow vale, for it is the Shepard’s best resting place, for no one knows the way here. So here, where everything is alone, we may sing together in our melancholy...
