The first song, even though I don't understand a lot of it.

 

I know that song. This is a very poor version. Sadly I cannot find a better rendition of it.

Here is the lyrics for you.

 

ԵՂՆԻԿԻ ՊԵՍ ԾՈւՌ ՄԻ ԱՇԷ**

 

Ալ երեսդ ալա է,***

Բացված կարմիր լալա է,

Նայվածքդ, սիրուն աղջիկ,

Գլխիս դարդ ու բալա է։

Եղնիկի պես ծուռ մի աշէ, սիրո՛ւն ջան,

Ջահել սիրտս դու մի մաշե, սիրու՛ն ջան։

Այրող սերդ սառել է,

Սիրտդ ինձնից դառել է,

էդ քո նայել, ժպտալդ

Խելքս գլխիցս առել է։

Հագածդ նուրբ տարազ է,

Հասակիդ լավ կսազե,

Քեզ հետ ասել, խոսելը

Ե՛վ ցավ է, և մուրազ է։

 

ՀԱՎԱՍԻ

**Աշէ= Նայէ, To look a variation of "աչք/achq/eye".In another version I had known that phrase as "Եղնիկի պէս ծուռ մի աշիր/Ծուռ մի նայիր"

*** Al= furkish word to mean “red, which we see further down “batsvats karmir lala e“. Red poppy = Կարմիր Վայրի ԿԱԿԱՉ

Thank you Gams. That is wonderful.

Only a Haleptsi can sing so well. Not to forget that Sayat Nova had an Aleppo connection.:) :P :D

He diverges somewhat from the original melody that we are all so used to. Interesting, I wonder why he'd do that.

That is known as Poetic License.

I don't sing some of the songs like Komitas did. We don't know how he sang it.However that song is best sung with female/soprano voice since it is kind of cildren's song.

Well, when I first heard that in the morning the thought crossed my mind that he's singing it in some other version of the folk song. Then I looked up the info one more time and re-confirmed that Kaqavik is an original song by Komitas and not a folk song. I guess I'm one of those purists who like the performances to reflect what the composers had in mind. Blame it on my classical music training :P Also, in all honesty I think the original melody is so beautiful and so gracefully portrays the singing of a partridge that taking those ranging intervals away from the song is unnecessary.

This is supposed to be based on Shiraz’ (perhaps recently discovered) “Namak” which I cannot find. Does any one here have the words of that poem?

 

 

Also see other songs by her on the sidebar.

This is wonderful, considering that the singer and the musicians are Bolis Armenians they play and sing in the classical style, none of that furk-aszeri klklots rabiz/rubbish. Neither like that garbage known as “euro-voro-vizhun”**.

An Armenian music video is airing on Turkey’s leading music channels and the state-run TRT in first in the nation’s history, Hurriyet Daily News reports.

“Namag” (Letter) video by Sibil Pektorosoglu, an Istanbul Armenian, was shot several months ago. The lyrics were written by Armenian poet Hovhannes Shiraz while the singer’s music video was produced by one of Turkey’s most famous directors in the field, Ozkan Aksular.

Album was arranged by Majak Tosikyan, also an Istanbul Armenian, an important figure on the Turkish pop music scene for more than 40 years.
