lyrics

Lyrics:
Տնեն էլար դու կայնար տյուռ
Մեջքդ բարակ, խանջարի պյուռ
Քյամին էզար, իտու շուռ-մուռ
Ես քո սիրուն շիվար ու ծուռ
Խիո, խիո, խանե, խանե

Ջուրն ի փրթիր, կըգա սարեն,
Կըգա թափվի մարմար քարեն,
Հիրուր մի տու սրտիս յարեն
Խաբար չունիմ անուշ յարեն
Խիո, խիո, խանե, խանե

Քի կին ըլնի, ես քի կընեմ
Քու ծեռ ու ոտ խինա դնեմ
Նռան գինի քե խետ խըմիմ
Սարխոշանամ, ծոցդ քնեմ
Խիո, խիո, խանե, խանե

Translation:

You came out the house, stood by the door
With your back slender, like a dagger's handhold
The breeze hit, throwing me about
I am dazed and confused for your love
Khio, Khio, Khane, Khane.

The streamy water comes from the mountain
It comes and pours over the marble rocks
Do not provoke my bruised heart
I do not have news from my sweet love
Khio, Khio, Khane, Khane.

May you have a price, and I'll pay
I'll paint on your hands and legs
And drink the wine with you
To get drunk and sleep in your bosom
Khio, Khio, Khane, Khane.
