Blue Kite Annotated
[Verse 1: Amir]
“You and I, the sultans of Kabul” (Hosseini 24)
We wrote upon that tree
You were honest with your words
You thought the same of me
[Chorus]
Before you ran that kite of blue
The pomegranate tree bore fruit
You took care to nurture it
Without me it was doomed
[Verse 2]
“For you a thousand times over,” (Hosseini 67)
You once said to me
But I turned my back on you
I thought “Baba’s all I need”
[Chorus 2]
When you brought back that kite of blue
The pomegranate tree bled too
I don’t deserve redemption
After what I did to you
[Bridge]
The kite that once adorned the wall is now itself a memory
And with the redemption it once brought, Baba’s bed is empty
All that’s left is my regret, because even though you’ve passed
The pomegranate tree is withered, but the roots will always last
[Verse 3]
You left me one last pomegranate
With your son a final seed
Others think I’m saving him
But he is saving me
