Lyrics to the song with translation.
Armenian:
ganchum em ari ari, yar boyit mernem
ches kali mukhet mari
asa inch anem
puncherov vart em kakhel,
yar boyit mernem
ko tartzin jampi shakhnel
asa inch anem
varteri shakhov tatsen,
yar boyit mernem
shakhere sirdis latsne
asa inch anem
English:
i’m calling you, come my love,
i’d die for your tall body
you aren’t coming,
may your hearth go out;
tell me, what can i say?
i gathered boquets of roses, my love,
i’d die for your tall body
the roads are crying, awaiting your return;
tell me, what can i say?
the roses are wet with dew, my love,
i’d die for your tall body
those drops of dew are my heart’s tears,
tell me, what can i say?
