AINO KCHUME

(Assyrie)

Ben ainakh kchumnayeh gyashik djopati
Djoshita Khadiaha basela gati.
Gutyeleh omidi ou kheli govati
bes gam let garboni zalum chaporta.
Look at my face with your black eyes,
even though it be but once a year.
I have lost my hope and my strength.
Why don't you come near me, cruel girl?
Ben ainakh kchumnaye bdo komerkh daika
minder dakh moblitervat merkh deeyeh djivanta.
Imen takhrin shimakh ulekh kitelka
Khemtu nadj vudli chara myatevin.
At the thought of your trim figure and your black eyes
I'm pained and thin, a young man like me.
Just remembering your name I lose myself,
just thinking of a girl as lovely as you.
Pluta vut lukhdara byomane de ida
aino gnivo kchume gomo rakiduh.
Kheli kha munshukta bhaliba kitelka
kehmta nadjep vhdi chara myatuh vundj.
You went walking one holiday,
your black eyes and eyebrows, your trim figure...
Beautiful girl, help or I die.
Give me one passionate kiss.
Pluta vut lukhdara amkhavar takh
embikyukh kyertani raprope lepatakh,
bwili khakhobra tanouye gatakh
Ina sdeuili men eh kyapurta khatakh.
When you went walking with your sister,
your hair trickling over your eye,
I wanted to speak to you,
but I was afraid of your sister.
