Ode to love
If there was no love in the world,
Wouldn’t open the rose covered with dew
And the eyes would not open with a ray of sunshine,
If there was no love in the world.
Ah this heart that knows love,
Knows sweet hope,
Knows the light of a thousand stars
Kele, kele – Come with me
Come, come with me, I love your step,
Come, come with me, I love your wonderful words.
Loved baby,
Insulted child,
Child,
Black-haired baby,
Dear baby!
Armenian music at a glance!
Introduction by Ilda Simonian before the concert Gurdjieff meets Hewar during Holland Festival 2018.
Mount Alakyaz
Mount Alakiaz is shrouded in clouds,
Vay le, le, le…
Rain has soaked the ground.
Ah, my dear, sweet mother.
Rain has soaked the ground.
Vay le,le, le,le..
But the sun has dried it out.
Ah, dear sweet mother.
Khingi dzar / Incense Tree
In front of our door threre is an incense tree
My dear beloved.
In front of your door there is one too;
My dear beloved.
The tree bears its fruit,
My dear beloved.
