[Armenian]The Armenoids and Aida Sargsyan - Merik Merik

Recently a friend of mine was playing a modernised version of a traditional Armenian wedding song called Merik-Merik (mother-mother?) the song in question was done recently by a group called The Armenoids and Aida Sargsyan titled Merik. Aida's voice was amazing but being of a celtic background was wondering if someone had the lyrics to this amazing song seems the lyrics are hard to find.

I looked for the lyrics so i could translate it for you but there are none anywhere & just by listening it's very hard to make out the words as it's not too clear & also the words are a little too ethnic & kind of old style words. From what i could make out by listening i've done my best to translate. The parts in (????) are where i could not be sure of what i'm hearing so i left them as question marks

Merik, Merik, Merik, Merik....
Let's go to our fatherland (Armenians refer to their country as The Fatherland)
My spring, My beautiful, (????)
Oh my tall one


Merik, Merik,Merik,Merik....
Let's go to our fatherland
Merik, Merik, Merik, Merik....
Let's go to our fatherland


The light & stars are up
Get up & put your robe on
(??????)
The singing birds....(????)
(??????)

Merik, Merik,Merik,Merik....
Let's go to our fatherland
Merik, Merik, Merik, Merik....
Let's go to our fatherland
Merik, Merik,Merik,Merik....
Let's go to our fatherland
Merik, Merik, Merik, Merik....
Let's go to our fatherland
Fatherland...
(keeps repeating)


LOL sorry i hope this helps

FYI Merik is referred to as Mother & the song is NOT Turkish but purely Armenian ^_^

And this is the translation of the Rap version of the song, again, from what i could hear by listening

Merik, Merik,Merik, Merik....
Let's go to our fatherland

The hills are (????) the deserts
The dirt/grounds are living the decorations
(Hay,khay,Tay) To all a new..(?????)
Our voice, behind me (???) and (???) and dance
From our lost lands an Armenian dance
We want that, we create that
Now let's walk forward
Remembering this is your foundation
It's me, it's you, it's that,
whoever understands this, that(person) is present in our future
(?????) moments, (???????) know this fact
We are worthy of much
We will be victorious, be patient


Merik, Merik,Merik,Merik....

Merik, Merik, Merik, Merik....
Let's go to our fatherland
Merik, Merik,Merik,Merik....

A (????) moment, you saw what the roots are
That's our name, our blood
Our familiar home, our nest
With which for centuries the race of Armenians keeps going
The "Apricot Pogh"<-(A musical instrument unique to Armenians) is still breathing fire & flame<--(meaning excitement & passion)


Whatever you feel, Say it
Whatever you see, Believe it
We are here, We are solid, we are revolutionizing your mind
Aha,You understand now,
What is necessary for u to (????)/maybe a sound
For a moment forget the pain & remember (???) passed down from many centuries
