Garik Khayidakh - We Must Unite

Chorus:
This is one of the reasons that we stated that we must unite,
So that none of us should burn in fire,
What sin have the young children done?
To suffer before the eyes of the adults.

Verse 1:
If we could all just agree to move on one word and heart,
Today we would have had a place in our country,
As Christians, we are continually martyred,
While our nations' representatives in debate.

How many martyrs do we have left to sacrifice?
We don't know, nor does anyone else,
Cause of this nation, it does not realize,
That the enemy is killing us, from infant and priest.

This is one of the reasons that we stated that we must unite,
So that none of us should burn in fire,
What sin have the young children done?
To suffer before the eyes of the adults.

Verse 2:
We believe in you, our Lord,
That you had sacrificed yourself for freedom,
Today in our country, terrorist are killing us,
You are our savior, guiding our lives.

O children of our nation, Let us become one in our heart,
So we stop the atrocity of our loved country,
The words of our Lord are being fulfilled,
Don't allow the devil, to bring is into temptation.

This is one of the reasons that we stated that we must unite,
So that none of us should burn in fire,
What sin have the young children done?
To suffer before the eyes of the adults.

Verse 3:
Whoever we chose, we did not allow them to satisfy us,
We put a stain on his tribe,
Foreigners caused fights between us,
Stealing our land while we were tired from fighting within ourselves.

They killed our prelates (bishops), they took our houses,
They entered our churches with weapons,
Until when our O' Lord, will be we be the innocent ones,
Crying out for help from other nationalities.
