That's a considerable wealth! I may be wrong, but I doubt that - for istance - the Germans or the English did inherit such a large collection of medieval songs!Originally posted by LadySilverWhat if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.Comment

Hay Enk Menk
Hay enk menk yeghpayrner, hay enk menk
Hay enk menk oor el vor menk linenk
Gaghtakan oo taparakan Hay enk menk,

Minanank hzor azg menk darnank
Erzerumin, Kilikiain ter darnank
Hayots azgin haghtanakov toun darnank
Repeat the first verse and that is it…Comment

It's in Mousaleran "bar-bar".Originally posted by Che_Ka
First few lines go "Germir fsdan haghootsi..hala hala hala nino eh, chortsr axvoor viloudzi hala hala hala nino eh....
"translation" which is obvious is Garmir fsdan(dress) haghootsi(hakela), then- chortsr(?) axvoor viloodzi= inchel "axvor" sazela.
Basically it's the Armenian version of Lady In Red.
I understand some of it, cuz my dad's side speaks it sometimes (the elders mainly). But if you listen carefuly it's Armenian words-- twisted a bit.
We used to sing "Garmir vardik haghootsi" and get such a kick out of it.

lol! i am mousa lertsi! hala hala hala nino eh! i was listening to that in my car today! LOL!
che-ka you've never heard of the mousalertsi barbar?
"lady in red"!!! lol... ya... sure...
this is the party song... this gets put on, the old women the old men (and i'm talking OLD! like 80 and above) they get up and dance... of course we youngstas do too... we grab the "tashkinag" and wave it around, dance our little shourj-par...
i think it must be in my blood, because when i first heard this song, maybe i was 6, i was in love with it...
sprial did your family go to the "harisa" Musa Lertsi gatherings in fresno?
so Harisa means "Hari - Sa" which means "beat this" and thats how we make the it... harelov...
- and - Musa means (MOVSES)Comment

not to turn it into another psedo-linguistic thread, but are you sure about that? because i've read it comes from the word մուսա [musa] (don't know the english word for it), the inspirational spirits in Greek mythology...Originally posted by nunechka
and some other theories about the name...Comment

let me ask someone who knows this stuff --- my dad's horkuyr - she was born in Musa Ler.
after major killings in 1915 some people went back to Musa Ler (some of whom were her parents) ~1920s and she was born there, and after some short period the turks kept bothering them and in 1928 her family left to Lebanan.
musa is definetely in armenian and i was wrong she says it means - to get an idea - "yerp vor havest k'ga" or "yerp vor mi banes mtatsum yev mikt a galis"
i thought it was Movses because SOMETIMES they called my uncle who's name is Movses, Musa or for making fun of him they say "gij Musa, khlar Musa"
hmm, they tricked me! lol! j/k i love my family...

Creates an 'anthem-like' vibe doesn't it!
Noope.sprial did your family go to the "harisa" Musa Lertsi gatherings in fresno?
I think there were Musa Lertsi gatherings at Glendale as well.
Didn't go to those either.Comment
