New Armenia, old hat, walking stick, frown, fret. New Armenia, bragging high, singing low, waves waving us ahead New Armenia, not a drop of blood shed, not a tear, not a threat Civilized in discipline, New Armenia full of freedom from terror, friend Not Mother Russia, nor Oligarchs on parade, brothers and sisters nesting the precious egg Nesting for the groong’s return, hoot in joy, the group-dance, the flame, the Hayr Mer.
