Mardigi Yerke

Sad and beautiful Armenian song of a soldier about his homeland.

Translation:

Soldiers' Song
Remembering home in Parthia,
Where my mother awakens,
Via that stream,
With infinite longing.
During every spring,
Waters are overflowing,
And the mountains murmur.

I relied on the source*,
Longing for cold water,
I was in the pastures,
Our green beds,
Where the flowers exhale their perfumes,
Where, during the days of my childhood,
I was kissed by the wind.

The Fatherland is always in my heart,
If I don't fall in battle,
Oh, dearest mother,
I will return home,
To sooth your soul,
With an affectionate kiss,
And hold you in my chest
