Can anyone tell me where I can find the words to the song "Yerevan Erebuni"? English would be preferable but I will start with Armenian if you can direct me.

It's correct name is "Erebuni Yerevan", the words are by Paruyr Sevak.
Երեւան դարձած իմ Էրեբունի:
My ancient Erebuni that has become Yerevan.
Դու մեր նոր Դվին, մեր նոր Անի:
You are our new Dvin, our new Ani.
Մեր փոքրիկ հողի դու մեծ երազանք,
...A dream gracing our small corner of the earth,
Մեր դարե կարոտ, մեր քարե նազանք:
After centuries of longing, with rocks carved into facades of lace.
Երեւան դարձած իմ Էրեբունի,
Yerevan, my ancient Erebuni,
Դարեր են անցել, բայց մնացել ես պատանի:
Centuries have come and gone, but you remain youthful.
Քո Մասիս հորով, քո Արաքս մորով
With your father Masis and your mother Arax at your side
Մեծանաս դարով Երեւան:
May you prosper, Yerevan.
Կյանքում ամեն սեր լինում է տարբեր,
In life, each love is unique,
Իսկ մենք բոլորս ենք քեզնով հարբել:
But we are all taken with love for you.
Տաք է սերը մեր, շեկ քարերիդ պես,
The warmth of our feelings is reflected in your stone
Հին է սերը մեր ձիգ դարերիպես:
Compressed and solid.
Երեւան դարձած իմ Էրեբունի,
Yerevan, my ancient Erebuni,
Դարեր են անցել, բայց մնացել ես պատանի:
Centuries come and go, but you remain youthful.
Քո Մասիս հáրով, քո Արաքս մորով
With your father Masis and your mother Arax at your side,
Մեծանաս դարով Երեւան:
May you prosper, Yerevan.
Thank you so much for this and to all the rest of you. Now, is it possible for me to get the Armenian in Latin letters and then I'll stop asking for favors.

I thought Armenians in Iran couldn't decide which was better.... since they decided to speak Eastern but use Western writing.
Iranian-Armenians use the correct spelling and pronounciation :P It is the Soviet reform of Armenian orthography in the Armenian SSR which resulted in some people thinking eastern Armenian spelling is incorrect. The Armenians of Iran kept the traditional Mashdots orthography as well as the eastern dialect.
For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.
