New York City- I love you! you have dazzled me with your might
But let the truth be told and I must confess, I can't wait to take that flight

In less than 12 hours I leave you, your park avenue stores I will hardly miss
I will soon be in Yerevan where I experience complete bliss

The motherland is magical, with a history that can't be matched
Her glory is overpowering, and it is to her that I am attached

I will drink the water at Republic Square and buy cotton candy for my walk
I will stroll at night with Semechka, and with my old friends I will talk

I will go to the villages I once called home and visit families that became my own
I will do a madagh and make some khorovats and eat every peice and ever bone

Most of all I will return to a place that teaches you what counts in life
That there is a social cohesion we are responsible for and that we must help to end pain and strife

I will be back to your crowded subways and remember the days that I spent here
But now Yerevan is too close to taste and I am finding it hard to shed you a tear

Goodbye New York, the city that never sleeps
Baree Louys Yerevan I am yours for the keeps
