Our Fatherland, free, independent,
That has lived for centuries,
Is now summoning its sons
To the free, independent Armenia.
Here is a flag for you my brother,
That I have sewed
Over the sleepless nights,
And bathed in my tears.
Look at it, tricoloured,
A valuable symbol for us.
Let it shine against the enemy.
Let Armenia be glorious forever.
Death is the same everywhere,
A man dies but once,
Blessed is the one hat dies
For the freedom of his nation.

Let Armenia be glorious forever.
Death is the same everywhere,
A man dies but once,
Blessed is the one hat dies
For the freedom of his nation.
