Isabel Bayrakdarian: "Dle Yaman" (Lament)
Uploaded by: win081
Video Description:
Performed by Isabel Bayrakdarian, a world-renowned Lebanon-born Armenian-Canadian soprano, and The Minassian Duduk Quartet.
"Dle Yaman" was one the thousands of ancient Armenian folksongs collected and preserved by Komitas Vardapet (1869-1935), a composer, musicologist and the founder of modern Armenian classic music. Komitas's life was spared through the intervention of a group of influential friends during the Armenian Genocide in 1915, but he lived to see everyone he loved to die in the Genocide. Komitas had never recovered from the emotional shock. He died in a psychiatric mental institute.
"Dle Yaman" lyric in Armenian:
(Isabel Bayrakdarian version)
LeLe Yaman, Mer tun, Dzer tun dimac, dimac
LeLe Yaman, Heriq anes achqov imac
Yaman Yaman Yar
LeLe Yaman, Heriq anes achoqov imac

LeLe Yaman, Arev dipav Masis sarin,
LeLe Yaman, Karot mnaci es im yarin,

LeLe Yaman, Karot mnaci es im yarin,

Oh ya- secondly-- what century are we living?
In todays day and age- racism is a sign of unsophistication.
Face it- Your government is HIDING something!
The genocide is not a lie- 99.9% of today Armenians are decedents of the survivors.
And the reason, why Turkey is "pumping" nationalism into Turks ist to keep them from becoming islamists. When Atatürk founded Turkey he knew that he had to infuse Turks with Nationalism in order to diminisch the Influence of Religion/Islam to creat a modern nation state. The law against insulting Turkishness is part of this. This has nothing to do with you Armeniens.
And for what it's worth, I'm sorry for your families loss!
And Yetagan, I'm just an Anglo Aussie, but I've studied enough M.E history to know (because I'm outside the propaganda) to know that Turkey's denial of the Armenian genocide is one of the saddest brainwashings of modern history. I know and love many Turks, but they are scholars who can separate their patriotism from what they know is deeply wrong: the propaganda of their government.
