Good stork – Russian translation of lyrics by Bari Arakeel
I’m not homeless, not a foreigner,I have peace, I have shelter.Free homeland, happy country,Happy, happy country.Good stork, good luck stork,Stork in the spring, Stork in the summerLive near my house, good stork,Make your nest in the tree, at the top of the poplar.Stork, sing happily with meOn a mountain pasture, with a herd in the field.Fields, gardens, beautiful country.beautiful, beautiful country.Translated by Kirill Yasko.Just in case, I’ll explain. “Bari Arakeel” is a song from Khachadour Tankian’s Inchbes Moranank album. Khachadur sings it together with his son Serj (Serj Tankian is the lead singer of the band System of a Down). As far as I understand, most of the songs on the album are folk Armenian, plus a few of Tankian Sr.’s own songs.Bari Arakeel chords available at Ultimate-guitar.comAnd the song itself in mp3 can be downloaded on torrents or listened online on Khachadur Tankian’s official myspace page.P.S. I myself really enjoyed not just listening to the song, but watching the video. They sit very sincerely, sincerely smile and sing.
