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?
