About the participants

The AREVIK children and youth pop-folk ensemble will perform a song
written by the 15-year old Mariana Javakhyan. Anahit and Christine,
both 10 years old, will help the author of the song to perform it
live on stage. Sargis Mzikyan wrote the lyrics. All other
participants are backing vocalists who will try to amuse the audience
and viewers with a lively dance.

AREVIK is 29-year old ensemble of the Public Radio of Armenia. During
these years, a number of songs was recorded. The group had concerts
in many countries such as Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Bulgaria, Iraq, and
the USA and also in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kyiv, Odessa and Crimea.

At least seven generations were represented in the group since its
foundation. The kids of AREVIK will make you smile on a rainy day,
and therefore they are often called "the singing Armenian sun."

About the song
The song Erazanq (A Dream) is about the moon, the sun and the fairy,
that hopefully makes all your dreams come true.

(in Armenian)
Mets erknqum paylogh astgher
Dzez khndrum em indz hima tareq verev,
Vor erknqic nayem nerqev,
Im paylov siro luyser ayntegh varem.

Qez khndrum em yes du indz dir qo usin,
Togh erkusov paylenk u shoghank, vor
Bolorin tva, te ka erku lusin.

Erazanqneri bari peri, qez khndrum enq

Hey-hey, sirun lusin, bark arev anmar,
Mez hamar garunner bereq luse,

(in English)
Stars, shining above in a big sky
Please take me up with you
For I need to look at the Earth
And burn the lights of love with my glow.
My dear beautiful and small Moon,
I ask you to carry me on your shoulder.
Let us shine and glow
Like there are two moons in the sky.

Dear Fairy of our dreams
We ask you to make our bright dreams come true and
Please favor with innumerable songs and joyful days
All light-hearted and kind children,
And favor all kids with joyful days

Let us take with us today
All the stars that seem so far, but they are close.
We will shine and glow then
Like everyone, like the Sun.

Hey-hey, beautiful Moon and Bright Shining Sun,
Please bring us sunny springs,
New songs and love.
