~~~ Lyrics ~~~

Ինձ ասում են.
Ժակո՛, քեզ խելոք պահի՛,
Շատ մի՛ խոսա,
Շատ սուս էլ մի՛ նստի,
Հագի՛, բացի՛, փակի՛,
Աղջկա պես քեզ պահի՛»:
Ես աղջիկ եմ ազատ,
Ես կպարեմ, դու էլ նայի՛:

Լա Լա Լա

Արի՛, արի՛, արի՛ դու ինձ միացի՛,
Մեկ ա, մեկ ա, մեկ ա՝ ով ինչ կասի,
Էլի, էլի, էլի ժամին չենք նայի,
Հելի՛, հելի՛, հելի՛ բոյիդ մատաղ,
Վե՛ր կաց, պարի՛:

Լա Լա Լա

~~~ Lyrics in English ~~~

They tell me:
“Jako, be humble!”
“Don't talk too much!”
“Don't stay too quiet!”
“Wear this, open this, close that,”
“Behave like a girl!’
But I am a free girl, so I will dance and you will watch!

La La La

Come, come, come and join me!
No matter what they say,
We will forget about the time again,
Come on, come on, come on my dear, get up and dance!

La La La

This is what Eurovision should be about. Singers celebrating what makes their cultures unique.

[cienfleur]

this is how every eurovision singer should represent their country, by showing each other and the world their culture and roots.Hope more countries do that in the future!

[The_Grenk]

This is literally the ideal eurovision song. Showcases the country's culture, has a fun, uplifting message, as well as such an insanely catchy tune influenced by Armenia's musical tradition. Literally perfect.

[Intelligent]

I am from Greece. When I heard this song first I said "Ok. It's very good. I may love it".
And now I said "Lalalalalala! ". I already have loved it. It's amazing and difficult. Excellent!

[ladaniva.ladaniva]

Thank you so much Eurovision and thank you all for your comments on our song ❤

[maceinfp]

One of the most underrated songs this year! The staging was awesome too

[jannecapelle_art]

this is so infinitely much cooler than another basic pop song in english, just by an artist from a different country. isnt this what eurovision was supposed to be?? yes, i dont understand what they're saying, but i can appreciate a sick-ass song when i hear it!

[luigi.s]

Wow Armenia Armenia is on the first place among my favorite countries. it's a very sweet country, love from Italy 🇮🇹❤️🇦🇲

[Zomerset]

This song and video makes me want to pack a bag, grab my passport and book a flight to Armenia. Such a joy to watch. Good luck in the semi finals.

[Favourreacts]

THE BEST ENTRY I HAVE HEARD FROM THIS YEARS SONGS! OH MY GOD, TAKE ALL MY VOTES

[giorgi.gagashvili]

Most of people probabably dont like this Song, but I love it. Good Job Armenia. This is what I wish for Esc, more traditional Music and not same sounding balades or Popsongs. Best wishes from Georgia🎉❤.

[memaki]

I am in love with this song CONGRATS:>> 🇬🇷❤️🇦🇲 This deserves first place!!!

[Itsurgurlalexsandra]

Ok our mission this year is to at least make Armenia in the top 10 because they took a risk: they stopped to send humble and gentle songs which eurovision doesn't really appreciate we need more of these energetic and adventurous songs instead ❤❤❤
Love this song btw 12 points from moldova 🇲🇩💖🇦🇲
Edit:omg we did it 🩷❤ not first place but still amazing

[Doug.Dimmadome]

+ Sings own language
+ Shows own Culture
+ Folklore atmosphere and good, cheerful stage performance
+ VERY pretty lady heehee


= 12 points from The Netherlands <3

[sirmaster]

I cannot even begin to explain how cheerful and happy I was when I heard this song be performed live at the Grand Final. This really is one of the best I have heard in the competition and Im glad people around the world feel the same!

[ThePontiaka]

Turkish here, I think along with Croatia and Greece Armenia literally were the only good songs. Extremely catchy, original and very Armenian ….

[lashabolkvadze]

I as a Georgian, Without any exaggeration, I will say that, Armenians are the most talented and hardworking people in the world❤ I am proud that they are my healthy neighbors! I think that Armenia will present one of the worthy and interesting music at Eurovision, like every year. 🎉❤ God bless my Armenia and Georgia🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪 forward to victory!♥️

[BritishZambianDude]

It’s really nice to hear Armenia singing in Armenian once again, people underestimate this tbh, love from UK 🇬🇧 ♥️ 🇦🇲

[lybejohn]

Armenia never disappoints! They always deliver folk vibes with their entries! This is a pure folk inspired entry and I will support it! Good luck from Greece! 🇦🇲🇬🇷

[VADARENSLILLAPOJK]
