I forgot to add that those Sharagans- Armenian Carols- , are virtually impossible to sing not only by children but also by adults. Have we composed any so called Armenian carols since Khorenatsi, that is beside Tonatsar?BTW. I have nothing against Home@tmen. In fact I admire them, I have for a long time.

You are right we do need new songs - something that will touch the hearts of everyone, something that will beat the traditional - American christmas song - "jingle mingle belss" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

man Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Come to think of it If we bring the world to Armenia, then Armenians of Armenia will not look forward to immigrate in order to know the world.They will stay put in Armenia giving her their energies. Besides human contact, internet is opening the doors of the world to Armenians in Armenia. It is a fact that Armenians have their own particular carols, but it will not hurt to switching sometimes to international carols or caroling American/European style; it keeps the bordem and repetiton at bay, and the return to Armenian caroling in refreshed mood more certain.

Come to think of it!Who said that that silly jingo Jingle Bells is a Christmas carol?Where do you see words like Christ, Christmas or Jesus?We need real American Christian culture not silly vulgar songs. Look again and see in Yerevan they think Rap and bottom girating Michael Jackson are American culture.====Lyrics to Jingle Bells : Dashing through the snowIn a one horse open sleighO'er the fields we goLaughing all the wayBells on bob tails ringMaking spirits brightWhat fun it is to laugh and singA sleighing song tonight Oh, jingle bells, jingle bellsJingle all the wayOh, what fun it is to rideIn a one horse open sleighJingle bells, jingle bellsJingle all the wayOh, what fun it is to rideIn a one horse open sleigh A day or two agoI thought I'd take a rideAnd soon Miss Fanny BrightWas seated by my sideThe horse was lean and lankMisfortune seemed his lotWe got into a drifted bankAnd then we got upsot Oh, jingle bells, jingle bellsJingle all the wayOh, what fun it is to rideIn a one horse open sleighJingle bells, jingle bellsJingle all the wayOh, what fun it is to rideIn a one horse open sleigh yeah Jingle bells, jingle bellsJingle all the wayOh, what fun it is to rideIn a one horse open sleighJingle bells, jingle bellsJingle all the wayOh, what fun it is to rideIn a one horse open sleigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
