English lyrics:
We've always lived on these lands
Reaped and harvested these fields
Generations sprung from your rivers
Children born from your mountains
The public mask of tradition
The struggle for liberation or death
The enemy's gaze at your terrain
Our smiles at your bosom
At your bottomless will
We're going to sing with our fists
With the tricolor flag of justice
Humanitarian love of peace
With the holy blessing of a child's face
We are going to prevail with culture
We are going to prevail with culture
We are going to prevail by being Armenian
