Dear Shogher
English translation © Lucine Musaelian

It’s cloudy, it’s not snowing, dear Shogher,
He is not coming home from the mountain, dear Shogher,
Dance, lull, dear Shogher,
The snow is showing from underneath the clouds, dear Shogher.

My heart is filled with fire, dear Shogher,
My eyes don’t want to sleep, dear Shogher,
Dance, lull, dear Shogher,
The snow is showing from underneath the clouds, dear Shogher.

It has snowed at the top of the mountain, dear Shogher,
Your blonde lover came home, dear Shogher,
We see a lot, we see snow, dear Shogher,
A house is showing at the bottom of the fortress, dear Shogher.

Autumn came down from the mountain, dear Shogher,
Leaves fell from the trees, dear Shogher,
We see a lot, we see snow, dear Shogher,
A house is showing at the bottom of the fortress, dear Shogher.
