Lyrics
Armenian Latin transcription English translation - Ազատ ու անկախ Արցախ,
- Քո տուն-ամրոցը կերտեցինք,
- Պատմությունը մեր երկրի
- Մեր սուրբ արյամբ մենք սերտեցինք։
- Դու բերդ ես անառիկ,
- Բարձունք սրբազան, վեհ անուն,
- Մասունք աստվածային,
- Քեզնով ենք հավերժանում։
- Դու մեր լույս հայրենիք,
- Երկիր, հայրենյաց դուռ սիրո
- Ապրիր դու միշտ խաղաղ,
- Մեր հին ու նոր Ղարաբաղ։
- Քաջերն ենք մենք հայկազուն,
- Մռավ ենք, Քրիս ենք ու Թարթառ,
- Մեր վանքերով լեռնապահ՝
- Անհաղթելի մի բուռ աշխարհ։

- The history of our country,
- We have secured by our blood.
- You are an unassailable fortress,
- A holy peak, a noble name.
- A blessing divine
- we are made eternal through you.
- You, our light-giving homeland,
- Land, gate of love to the Fatherland.
- Live always in peace
- Our old and new Karabagh.
- We are brave descendants of Haik
- Like Mrav, Kirs and everlasting Terter
- With our temples in high mountains
- Keep our country invincible
