The word "bulbul" is actually used in English, and indicates a bird that belongs to the family Pycnonotidae.
So, it can just be "do not cry my bulbul", "cry not my bulbul", or any similar variations...
If u don't want to use "bulbul", using "lark" will also be ok i guess; even though larks belong to the family of songbirds called Alaudidae.
Another good substitute is "nightingale".This is a songbird that belongs to yet a different family called the Turdinae. In fact, it's believed that the often mentioned "bulbul" in Persian poetry is probably the "nightingale". Nightingales have a melodious song that is often heard at night- thus, the name " nightingale".
In Turkish-English dictionaries, "bulbul" is defined as "nightingale".
As far as the lands - that the Armenians traditionally lived on - are concerned, among the above mentioned 3 songbirds (bulbuls, larks, nightingales), larks & nightingales are the more common ones. Again, as far as the traditional Armenian inhabited lands are concerned, bulbuls can only be seen in Cilicia.

(NOTE: even though the research i did wasn't nearly as lengthy as i would have wanted it to be, i belive it is still noteworthy information)

"Dle Yaman" roughly translated into English would be: I'm depressed.

Dle: heart in Persian

Yaman: to be in pain/to hurt in Turkish

Dle Yaman: My heart is in pain/hurts, which in Armenian comes down to depression. Sirt@s b@rn@vats e/tsavoom e, I'm feeling low or depressed.

Later,
Nairi

Good work Movses!
I'll use upper case to distinguish from your lines.

Tariners - My Years
GOOD

Dle Yamen - Ales of My Heart
IN MY OPINION IT IS A KURDISH EXCLAMMATION(BATSKANCHUTYUN) THAT MAY NOT MAKE SENSE in LITERAL TRANSLATION SO WHAT YOU SAY MAY BE AS GOOD AS ANY TO CONVEY THE SPIRIT.
Used to express sorrow, regret, grief, compassion, or apprehension of danger or evil.
Alas Cruelty / pain of my hart, Vax@ strum's kam Srtis tsav@ Vax@
HOW ABOUT "MY BROKEN HEART" OR "MY ACHING HEART"?

-> Alas of My Heart
THIS IS GOOD TOO

Adanayi WoghB@ - lament of Adana
Mush

Qele Law - Lets Go my Son
GOOD

Parzir Arbyur - Cleanse Oh Spring
IN THIS CONTEXT "PARZIR" MEANS "OPEN(WIDE)" like "sirt@ parzel". IN the tezx the young Armenian maiden pleadu=in to the fountain to "open wide" so she can take water to the "krdin tghin"

Zinvori Yerg - Soldier's Song or Song of the Soldier
GOOD
Mi Lar Blbul - Don't Cry My Lark
CRY NOT MY LARK is more poetic and better sounding
Jorovurd mi hat nayeq eli shat shtap petqa:)

my 2 cents worth:

i have often heard "dle yaman" translated into "my lamentations", due to the pain and sorrow expressed in the song... However, since "dle" does means "heart" in persian, and since "yaman" IS A PURELY ARMENIAN expression used centuries ago to express "lamentation", you could also say "my heart's lamentations"...

just felt like clarifying...

hmm...doesn't really sound too Armenian to me.
plus, why do we also use it to mean slick (if i'm translating it right).
'bayts du shat yamann es!'

Yaman means "stud" or something like that in Turkish, hence the expression Harut brought in.
