National Anthem of Armenia

Mer hayrenik‘, Azat Ankakh,
Vor aprel eh tareh tar,
Yoor vorik‘e ard kanchum eh
Azat, Ankakh Hayastan.

Aha‘, yeghpayr, kez mi drosh,
Vor im dzerkov gortsetsi,
Gishernere yes koon cheghah,
Artasukov lvatsi.

Nayir nran yerek guynov,
Nvirakan mer nshan,
Togh poghpoghi t‘shnamu dem,
Togh misht pandsah Hayastan.

Amenayn tegh mah‘e mi eh,
Mard mi angam pit merni,
Bayts yerani ovr yur azgi
Azatutyan k‘e zohvi.

Land of our fathers, free, independent,
Which has endured from age to age.
Its sons and daughters now proclaim
Armenia, sovereign and free.
Its sons and daughters now proclaim
Armenia, sovereign and free.

Brother, take this banner,
Made with my own hands,
During sleepless nights,
And bathed in my tears.
During sleepless nights,
And bathed in my tears.

See, it has three colours;
A single hallowed symbol.
May it sparkle before the foe,
May Armenia flourish ever!
May it sparkle before the foe,
May Armenia flourish ever!

Death is everywhere the same,
Man is born just once to die,
But blest is he who gives his life
To defend his nation's freedom.
But blest is he who gives his life
To defend his nation's freedom.
