Lyrics:

Jelena Tomasevic:
O my Lord, it’s time to pray
When a new sun shines, make hay
Save my land from deserts day
Call the oceans, salt to melt away

Sirusho:
Աղոթի՛ր կապույտ երկինք | Aghothir kapuyt yerkink | Pray blue sky
Աղոթի՛ր դաշտի ծաղիկ | Aghothir dashti tzaghik | Pray flower in the field
Որ էլ ցավ չլինի | Vor el tsav tchlini | To make the pain go away
Որ անհոգ ժպտա մանկիկ | Vor anhog jpta mankik | And let the child smile carelessly

Boaz Mauda:
Uri, boi el beitenu | Wake up, come to our homes
Kinsharim porsim yadenu | Like eagles we spread our hands
Meleim bezamir uvechol hatov | Filled with nightingales and all that is good

Sirusho:
ժպտա մանկիկ | jpta mankik | Smile little child

Oh My Lord, it’s time to pray,
When the new sun shines, make hay,
Save my land from deserts day
Call the oceans, salt to melt away

Jelena Tomasevic:
Za nas, srce Boga moli, | For us, my heart prays,
Da je mir i da nas vodi | To grant us peace and to guide us

Sirusho:
Հայր մեր աղոթում ենք | Hayr mer aghothum enq | Our Lord, we are praying
Մաքրի՛ր հոգին անգութ չարից | Makrir hogin angoot tcharits | Clean our souls from the merciless evil

Boaz Mauda:
Uri, boi el beitenu | Wake up, come to our homes
Kinsharim porsim yadenu | Like eagles we spread our hands

Sirusho:
Հայր մեր աղոթում ենք | Hayr mer aghothum enq | Our Lord, we are praying
Մաքրի՛ր հոգին անգութ չարից | Makrir hogin angoot tcharits | Clean our souls from the merciless evil

Jelena Tomasevic:
Čisto srce Boga moli, | Pure heart prays to God
Da je mir i da nas vodi | To grant us peace and to guide us
Pogledaj, spasi nas | Look at us, save us
Sve boli oteraj | Make all the pain go away

Sirusho:
Save my land from deserts day
Call the ocean, salt to melt away

Boaz Mauda:
Ma nau atsei hazait | How pretty the olive trees have become
Cmo bsamim, atuf habait | Like perfumes, the house is wrapped
Bat nadiv, yafat einayim | Daughter of the generous, with beautifull eyes
Ve’ashir lach bekol | And I’ll sing to you out loud

    Dear france on Wed,
    you said that this song is a cover about what israel did
    in gaza, that israel killed a lot of people.
    so I’ll ask you something, did you ever heared in your lovely television about the bombs and the rockets that HAMAS sent to israel ?
    all the Qassam rocket ? I’m sure in 100% that you never heared about it.
    so stop saying such stupid things cause you don’t know what’s happen here, and how many children, and people, young or old that’s dosen’t matter, were killed. so stop the bullshit!
    they don’t have any pitty about us , right ? so we tired to live all the time in close rooms, don’t go to our schools, we can’t act like normal people does. we tired of it!! so we decide to get on a war, to make this stop. so you asshole don’t tell me about killing people, when Hamas start to do it.
    I’m not saying that it’s a good thing to do, but it’s like in the nature,
    or you eat or you be eaten. so we don’t have any choice.
    and stop involed politic in every stuff that israel do! okay ?
    you are just pathetic.
    about the song, this song is amazing, the lyrics and the voices. they’re voices are pure, beautiful in everey way.

    hi Dakota!
    You know.. I don’t really want such discussions on this site but…
    And, you said it yourself – politics should not be involved … and the song is pure and beautiful!
    All the best!

    Stop fighting! The song is very beautiful, and it must be most important and interesting for us. I think that this song will unite us! There are 3 strongest nations which suffered from genocide. It’s very nice to see that they are singing together and everyone sing in your own natiotal language! I love SIRUSHO HARUTYUNYAN! And i love your EROTAS and TIME TO PRAY! I believe in you and i believe that the whole world will know about you one day! Sirusho jan shat lavn es! Love SIRUSHO !!!
