Kamancha by Sayat-Nova (18th Century)

Amen sazi metchn kovadz toun tamam dasn is, kamancha
Nakaz martn kiz tchi desni, toun nera basn is, kamantcha
Ghasd ara el lav orerou edeven hasnis, kamancha
Kez indznits ov vana kheli, ashoughi pasn is, kamancha

Ankaket erdzaten bidi, keloukhet tchavahir karadz
Goutet shirmayemen bidi, pouret satapov naghsh aradz
Simet osgen katchadz bidi, ergatet pantchara aradz
Otch ov ghimete tchi kidi – lav ou almasn is, kamancha

Djibodet varaghnadz bidi tahr ounena hazar rankov
Sharet rashi gouten bidi, vour toun khosis kaghtser hankov
Shadin zartoun gou lousatsnis, shadin gou keneznis pankov
Anoushahm kinov liken toun osgi tasn is, kamancha

Adzoghit ergou gou shinis, aratch tchayi, ghapa pouzis
Gou medzeroukh aygenoumen, barab vakhdi rapa gouzis
Yep ver gou kas metchlisoumen kaghtsre kogh ou sapa gouses
Polorket kozalnir sharadz metchlisi gesn is, kamantcha

Shad dekhour sird gou khntatznis, gou gedris huienti toghen
Yep kaghtser dzaynet vir gonis, pats gou li hidt khaghoghen
Khalkhin es iltimadzn ara asin abri kou adzoghen
