Հայ Ախչիկ

Hay axchik annman
Chka demkit hayi nshan
Achkeret nayiryan ltsvel en otarutyamb
Otar dashteri mech pntrum em
Ur e tsaghikn im haykakan
Bayts kamin arten tanum e nrants burmunqe nayiryan
 
De zartnek hay mayrer
Mi toghek vor nrank korchen
De stapvek hay hayrer
Dzer xratnerin nrank karot en
Nrants hokin der shat pxrun e
Mi nor batsvats tsaghiki nman
Kamu ujits nrank sheghvum en
Mi anorosh barzrutyamb
 
Hay axchik nayiryan
Yete yes kez mi or tesnem
Sev mazeret tsatskvats
Gutse yes kez che chanachem
Bayts ko hokin yes haskanum em
Chuni ashxare kez nman
Yes ko achkeri mech
 
Translation

Armenian girl

Unmatched Armenian girl,
You have no Armenian feature on your face,
Your Armenian (Nairian) eyes have filled with strangeness,
I am searching in foreign fields,
Where is my Armenian flower?
But the wind is already taking away their Armenian (Nairian) flavor.
 
Wake up Armenian mothers
Don't let them get lost
Wake up Armenian fathers
They lack your advice
Their soul is still very light
Like a newly opened flower
They bend with an uncertain height
To the wind power.
 
Armenian girl
If I see you one day
With your black hair covered
Maybe I will not recognize you
But I understand your soul
The world doesn't have another you

Achkeret nayiryan ltsvel en otarutyamb = Your Nairian eyes are filled with tears in a foreign land. This is what exactly is meant here.
