ԱՐԻ՛, ԻՄ ՍՈԽԱԿ - Come my nightingale

"Ari Im Sokhag" can be traced back to the village of Shatakh, in the province of Van. The lyrics depict a mother who tries to lull her crying baby to sleep. She calls on the kindly dove, the sweet nightingale, and the lark to help, but it is only when she calls on the hawk (the fighting bird), who sings a song of war, when her child finally sleeps. It is the call of rebellion that drives the child to comfort and rest, which some draw connection to the Armenian people as a whole. Thus, this simple lullaby has come to symbolize the David and Goliath story of Armenians and their nation.

This is my reinterpretation of this iconic piece.

lyrics

Come my nightingale, leave the garden
Tell poems for my boy to fall into slumber
He is crying, do not come, nightingale
My son doesn't want to become a bishop

My son doesn't want to become a priest

My son doesn't want to become a bishop

He is crying, do not come, turtledove
My son doesn't want to become a mourner

Come my nightingale, leave the garden
Tell poems for my boy to fall into slumber
