Zartir Lao (Զարթի՛ր, լաօ; “Awake, my child”) with lyrics and translation.

Zartir Lao (Զարթի՛ր, լաօ; “Awake, my child”); originally named “Arabo’s song” (Արաբոյի երգ) is a song originally written by Fahrat, an Armenian ashugh from Moush.
The protagonist of the song, Arabo, was a famed fedayi (resistance fighter) who fought for the liberation and independence of Armenia, which was then under the merciless and punitive yoke of the Ottoman empire.

I was originally intent on uploading this on the Armenian genocide remembrance day (April 24), but that plan came to no fruition as I was working on my “If you’ll be lucky” video. I decided to upload it during my country’s independence day, as Armenia’s independence day is still quite far away.
