Question

Please help, I would like a traditional armenian song to be played for my processional, and not the typical american Here comes the bride.  Any ideas?  Thank you

The thing is that they will already sing Oorakh Ler at the altar. So, perhaps something like "Hars em Gnoom"?

Can you please send me the translated words for Hars em Gnoom?

This version of the song is a combination of two songs -- Gyankit Arevin Madagh, and Hars Em Gnoom.

This one is just Hars Em Gnoom:

Hars em gnoom, danitz heranoom
17 daregan, nani jan, siro diranoom

Eentz berel es, sirel koorkoorel
Amagut dzov are nani jan, eem yarin dvek

Anoosh gatut halal eentz arah
Orhnankut togh lini nani jan mishd el eentz vrah

The song is from the perspective of a young girl singing to her grandmother. It's hard to keep the essence of Armenian, but here's a fairly literal translation for you.

She says she has taken possession of love, and she's leaving as a bride at 17 years old. She thanks her nani for rearing her with care and love, and she asks for her prayers and blessings now as a bride just as she had drank milk from her when she was a child.

Hope that helps :-)
