1) And our fathers bones erupted in loud applause,
For the Armenians fire in not snuffed out.
And so many victims were jubilant
For the revenge we took in a stream of blood.
Masis broke into a smile, Mother.

Her children stand together,
Her happy tears will heal her wounds,
As we call each other brother.
