Melody/Lyrics

This marvelous song was written in 1915, shortly after the Genocide. An old man, feeling homesick and miserable is telling his grandson: “Let’s go home, my son.” He describes his homeland (Yerkir) as Paradise on Earth and worries that he will be in dept to Lord on the Last Judgment Day if he dies in a foreign land.
