ХЕДА ХАМЗАТОВА на армянском. HEDA HAMZATOVA.

HEDA HAMZATOVA ХЕДА ХАМЗАТОВА It’s singing about Armenian civilians who took up arms to defend Armenia from the Turks in world war 1 after the Armenian genocide. In the beginning it says “hayoc azgi kuys axchikner, asgyarner xlin taran“, it means “they came and took the Armenian people’s virgin girls away“, and it says at the end “Hayastani sirun hamar, kam mah kam azatutyun“ which means “for Armenia’s beauty, we will have either death or freedom“. It’s basically a patriotic song about self defense of Armenia from enemy forces. I don’t have a dog in this fight and only mention it as background, I’m not taking any sides. Armenians refer to themselves as Hye, not Armenians. They call their country Hayastan, also sometimes spelled Hayasdan.
