Swallow, swallow,
You are a beautiful bird in the spring,
Where, then, tell me,
Are you flying so fast?

Oh, jump, swallow,
My birthplace: Ashtarak,
Build it your own
Under the roof of the home.

And far away
Father, I'm sorry,
Which is his only son?
Waiting for day out.

Well, lovely swallow,
Get off, fly quickly
To the Armenian land,
My birthplace is Ashtarak.
