      Րամեալ սիրով սիրտ իմ ցընծայ,
      Հեռաստանէ առ քեզ խայտեայ,
      Եւ ողջունեալ քեզ համբոյր տայ,
      Սիրով ի սէր քո կապեցա։
      Rameal sirov sirt im cʻəncay,
      Heṙastanē aṙ kʻez xayteay,
      Ew oġǰuneal kʻez hamboyr tay,
      Sirov i sēr kʻo kapecʻa.
      • Translation by S. Peter Cowe
        Filled with love, my heart rejoices,
        From afar it rushes toward you,
        And, greeting you, offers a kiss,
        In love I am bound to your love.
