by Hovhannes Hovhannisyan (1864 - 1929)
Translation by Yury Alekseyevich Veselovsky (1872 - 1919)

Не оставляй, певец, отзывчивую лиру
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the Armenian (հայերեն) 
Не оставляй, певец, отзывчивую лиру,
Чтоб ржавчиной она покрылась навсегда!..
Ударив по струна́м, поведай снова миру
О грёзах пламенных, как в прежние года!

О, пусть звучит та песнь бессмертная, святая,
Пусть в сердце братскую зажжёт она любовь
И, чувства лучшие в нас мощно пробуждая,
О правде и добре напомнит людям вновь!

Не отдалят зимы последние морозы
Победу славную весеннего тепла:
Так песнь правдивую не заглуша́т угрозы
Упорного и гибельного зла!..
