Melody/Lyrics

At Berategh, a place for milking sheep and goats, the women would kneel in pairs facing each other and forming a narrow passage. The sheep and goats would pass through it and each woman would milk her sheep or goat. They would sing this song while milking. Collected and transcribed by Vartan Samvelyan.
