Կանաչ, վիթխարի ընկուզենու տակ,Իրենց հասակի կարգով, ծալպատակ,Միասին բազմած,Մի շըրջան կազմած,Քեֆ էին անումԵվ ուրախանումՄեր հըսկա պապերն ու մեր հայրերը՝Գյուղի տերերը:
Մենք, առույգ ու ժիր գեղջուկ մանուկներ,Երեք դասընկեր,Նըրանց առաջին գըլխաբաց կանգնած,Ձեռքներըս խոնարհ սըրտներիս դըրած,Զի՛լ, ուժեղ ձայնով նըրանց ըսպասում Տաղ էինք ասում:
Երբ զըվարթաձայն մեր երգը լըռեց,Մըռայլ թամադեն բեխերն ոլորեց,Նըրա հետ վերցրին լիք բաժակներըԲոլոր մեծերըՈւ մեզ օրհնեցին. — «Ապրե՜ք, երեխե՜ք,Բայց մեզ պես չապրեք…»:
Ժամանակ անցավ, նըրանք էլ անցան,Զըվարթ երգերըս վըշտալի դարձան.Եվ ես հիշեցի մեր օրը լալիս,Թե մեզ օրհնելիսԻնչու ասացին. — «Ապրե՜ք, երեխե՜ք,Բայց մեզ պես չապրեք…»Խաղաղությո՛ւն ձեզ, մեր անբա՜խտ պապեր,Ձեզ տանջող ցավը մե՜զ էլ է պատել:Այժըմ, տըխրության թե քեֆի ժամին,Մենք էլ` օրհնելիս մեր զավակներին՝Ձեր խոսքն ենք ասում. — «Ապրե՜ք, երեխե՜ք,Բայց մեզ պես չապրեք…»1889
ՀԻՆ ՕՐՀՆՈՒԹԻՒՆ
Materials (12th Grade)
The Ancient Blessing 'Neath a hazel's green, gathered in a ring
Sat the men of age, who had known life's sting. They sat them around, Stooped on the ground, For feasting and song, This venerable throng, Our fathers, the aged, our seniors, the sage Honored for their age. With uncovered heads we three of us stood; We were school friends good, Just three village lads, spirited and lighthearted. Our hands on our chests in humbleness lay As in voices strong we enlivened the throng With song after song. At the songs of joy of our childhood world The gray Tamada his moustaches twirled, Then each filled his cup to the very brim And stood up with him. This blessing they spoke 'Live long, lads, live happy, Not as we lived in our day!' Peace to your bones, our fathers who moaned! The ills that you bore we also have known, And now, in moments of joy or distress, When children we bless,We speak in your words: 'Live long, lads, live happy, Not as we lived in our day!'
