I long for Urmi, the land of my youth
On her green hills, that bedewed my love/desire
The Cradle of Literature, Umri, the land of orchards/vineyards
Her lake is asphyxiating [perilous]; her people, merciful

I long for Urmi, the land of my youth
On her green hills, that bedewed my love/desire
The Ray of Light: Urmi; The Land of Honor
Each one of her days: a holiday and festival

Urmi, Urmi, Urmi: filled with culture

—

The destroyed villages of Urmi: Seats of the Apostles
In each village: one, two, three Saints sleeping
Wander barefoot upon the face of that Holy soil
[beneath] Each step, a Martyr is asleep, asleep

It’s a sorrow that her churches: of two thousand years
Are decreasing in visitors; year after year

Urmi, The Ray of Light: Urmi
Each day of hers, a holiday and festival: Urmi
Urmi, Urmi, Urmi: The Land of Literature

In Urmi you fill find your lost dreams
It is a sorrow that her builders, [were] scattered across the world
After three thousand years, we’ve not forgotten her
We traveled the world and we’ve not seen like her

From Urmi until Salamas, orchards and vineyards
Village by village, kinsmen, friends and relatives
After three thousand years, we’ve not forgotten her
We traveled the world and we’ve not seen like her
