Ես սարեն կուգայի,
Դուն դուռը բացիր.
Ձեռդ ծոցդ տարար,
Ա՜խ, արիր, լացիր:

Վա’յ, վա’յ, վա’յ, վառվում եմ,
Վա’յ, վա’յ, վա’յ, հալվում եմ,
Հալվում, վառվում եմ:

Ես մի պինդ պաղ էի,
Դու մրմուռ լացիր,
Քո հրեղէն արցունքով
Ինձ հալեցիր:
Վա’յ, վա’յ, վա’յ…

Ես մի չոր ծառ էի,
Դու գարնան արև.
Քո սիրով ծաղկեցաւ
Իմ ճիւղն ու տերև:
Վա’յ, վա’յ, վա’յ…

Թէ ինձ չէիր առնի,
Ինչու սիրեցիր.
Մի բուռ կրակ եղար,
Սիրտս էրեցիր:
Վա’յ, վա’յ, վա’յ…

“I was arriving from Hill…You opened the door…”

I was arriving from the hill
You opened the door for me
You put your hand on your heart
Felt in pain & wept

Vye-Vye-Vye
I am burning
Vye-Vye-Vye
I’m melting burning

I was hard cold
You heartily cried
With Your heavy tears
You melted me
Vye-Vye-Vye

I was a dry tree
You Spring Sun
Your love flowered
My branches and leaves
Vye-Vye-Vye

If you were not interested in me
Why did you love me?
You became piece of fire
And burned my heart
Vye-Vye-Vye
(pain with why)
Translated by Sylva Portoian
