I like his music and poetry very much.

Did you heard his duet with Harut? It's very good

Lyrics

 

Mer Siro Ashune (The Autumn of our love)

 

Do you think the rain’s been drumming on your window all day long?

It’s the words of my repentance, falling down drop by drop.

See them, rolling down the glass and down into the endless brine;

Words that only you can hear in this belated song of mine.

 

What is this confession now, overdue regret, - for what?

Love has always been a riddle that I never can decode.

It was autumn that was mocking, slapping me with faded leaves,

And the girl that kept on weeping silently among the trees.

 

Only now I understand: the past shall not be back again.

It’s for sins that I’ve committed that I’m being made to pay.

For that weeping girl, that autumn are the fortune that I’ve lost.

Heedless deeds of wild youth is what I now regret the most.

 

We all know that happiness can only come a single time.

It then promptly disappears, leaves its business card behind.

We then seek it everywhere, we go on looking all our lives,

But the address on the card is one that no man ever finds.

 

Translated by Gugo

 

 

 

 

Im spitak aghavnin (My white dove)

 

My song is my white dove

It flies to you, my dear

Through the chilly wind

But my white dove still flies

 

My faith is my white dove

It stays alive for you, my dear

Sometimes I get scared it won't reach you

But my white dove still flies

 

And no matter how strong the chilly wind is,

It will land on your tender palms

 

 

Miayn du chtxres (But only don't be sad)

 

But only don't be sad

And don't let tears on your face

These blue days will pass, will disappear

And these cold winds, evil winds

Will splash on your face and be gone

 

And a sweet voice will appear in the distance

Waking all the hopes inside of you

Where are the endless roads taking you today?

Stop somewhere, my wayfarer

 

There's no use of walking

When your feet are tired

There's no use of walking

When the roads are tired of you

 

With a forgotten melody, with a distant song

I lost you in the faraway lands

But I know that one day you will return

And carry this happiness along

Into my aching heart

 

 

Qo champan aynkan parz (Your road is so clear)

 

Your road is so clear and so full of sunshine

My road is curved and full of rain

You like to stare at the light of day

I only trust my stars in the midnight sky

 

You keep telling me that the night is made only for sleeping

But I wake up at night and search for songs

And if my songs don't stay close to your heart

I must get away from you, my love

 

You keep telling me that I don't understand this life

That I earn little, that I spend a lot

I know only that people live once,

Fall in love once and die once

 

You keep telling me that life is a struggle

But my dear, I feel so tired of that

And even if we didn't meet this year on a good note,

I believe that my garden will bloom in spring

 

And if one day I end up in a jail

And if one day I return home from there

I will sing so loudly

And wake up everyone

Huh, except for the last post (and now mine), the conversation is between unregistered people.

[gamavor]

...still you can easily find out who is saying what. We haven't change much in the last 3 years. + veterans do not need to be acknowledged.

I have no contritions to paste this link because I bought almost everything of Ruben and plus the server is Russian.

[Maestro]

hey i love ruben haxverdian too

anyone know where i can find more songs from him besides the 3 cd's on the russian site?

[Maestro]

tnx but i can't find it there

[Anileve]

So I was asked to bring some Armenian music CDs to an event. And imagine my horror, I don’t have anything other than Rouben Hakhverdian, who is a musical genius, his words and guitar have always weaved enchanting patterns of rapture for me.

 

I also have some MP3s of little Rolly Polly “rabies” (like some one has said), you know the usual “Armenchik” and what not. But frankly, I really don’t enjoy the music, unless I am terribly drunk and getting a kick out of granmas and granpas holding each others hands in a circle doing their best mini kicks for their age. Although I am at risk of being booed by the Armenian majority who take Rabiz music to the level of extreme intimacy with the Artists, I still believe that there must be some stuff that doesn’t necessary involve Duduk, or that snake like sound of one of the musical instruments. So that being said, I am stuck by a state of panic, do we have any other music resembling to Rouben’s? Something along the lines of classic rock or any other quality genre? Can you please help?

 

Thanks,

Evelina, I like you even more now! Edited December 6, 2003 by gamavor

HEY HEY! You're blowing my cover, smarty pants!! I responded to you in the "Books" thread, regarding this keen observation of yours. VAy VAy VAY, demq es eli!

 

I thought that our likeness has been established from the start, at least I can say that mine instantly sprung with your support of my feminist views. Regardless, compliments from you are always held in very high esteem by me.

Joseph thank you so much, but I have to disappoint you, that is exactly the kind of music I wasn't talking about.

 

Harut, that is the whole list?

lol, answering to you on two different forums. You should be flattered

 

The closest thing to Rouben Hakhverdian we have would be Gor Mkhitarian, Arthur Meschian and Lilit Pipoyan.

 

Gor

Gor 2

 

Lilit

 

Ruben and Lilit

Speaking of Hakhverdian, does anyone have the lyrics to "Sa Yerevann e" and "Sareri Kami"?

 

Would be much appreciated

[koko]

I love Rouben Hakhverdians songs

Why thanks a lot. But that was the part that I knew

 

I still don't get exactly what he says in the end:

 

kani mer vankeroom gnkoom en manoogner, arevi bes medz ou gabooyd achougvnerov, kani mer achkeroom ter chi marel garode, garode ayn vorov nayoom enk menk hervits WHAT DOES HE SAY THEN???

Ruben has aslo sang this song in slightlty different versions.

Ners ari, ners ari

Inch es ganknel

Inch es himar jbidov karatsel

Every time I hear this, naturally and spontaneously a wide smile emerges on my face!

 

And I think the translation of Mer Siro Ashun@ by Gugo is a masterpiece!

[Ani]

This is the March 8 concert dedicated to "Kananc Ton" ...I think Sirusho is very lucky (thanx to Mama) to perform with him...
