German translation:


Our fatherland, free and independent,
That lived from century to century

:His sons calls Free Independent Armenia.: Here brother, a flag for you, That I made with my hands :On nights when I didn`t sleep, I washed her with tears.: Look at her, with three colors, A gift icon. :Let them shine against our enemies. Let Armenia always be honored.: Death is the same everywhere Everyone dies once : But happy is he who is consecrated The independence of his people.:
