This is the best version of Dle Yaman I have heard. Her voice is angelic, and hearing this song makes me tear up. It expresses our grief, the grief that lays deep within every passionate Armenian.
What a magnificent, haunting other-worldly sound! One doesn't need to understand the words to understand what is being sung and played. May God bless Armenia and all her people!
The instruments are called duduks. This song pierces the very fibres of my soul. How much pain and suffering of this proud and ancient nation can you hear in her amazing voice.
I saw you singing this on TV and my heart wept. The suffering is so evident in that beautiful aria and your perfect voice makes it come alive for me. Your voice is so beautiful it makes me feel at peace. May God bless you and your husband (to be) and to that beautiful aria sung from your soul.
Isabel Bayrakdarian, I am so very proud of you for what you have brought to our old and wonderful culture. I love your songs and your wonderful vigor. I am also a singer and a dramatic soprano though I started later in life. I mentioned at another youtube site that my professor's prof. was Pavarotti's professor. Seervart Kevorkian Kerb'ian.
There is a magical and mysterious beauty in this singing accompanied by the music instruments. The ancient stonework compliments the beauty of the music.
Thank you dear Isabel. Your voice is magic, melodic, pure, angelic. Once one of my Arab friends heard her song in Arabian on youtube, which is called "Isabel Bayrakdarian - Ya zahratan fee khayaalee | إيزابيل بايركادريان - يا زهره في خيالي" and as he later told me he first became speechless, than big tear drops came down his eyes. He called me on the phone and said, "Hasmik, your compatriot, a very talented Armenian singer shocked me.That Arabic song is most gorgously sung by a non - Arab singer, I listened to the song a thousand times and I like it more and more! Thank you. God bless Armenia! It is really a very nice Arabic song and Isabel Bayrakdarian sings it heavenly. Listen it on youtube. You will enjoy it greatly.
Իզաբել ջան, անչափ շնորհակալ ենք: Չքնաղ երգն ու աննման ձայնդ մեզ երկրից կտրեց ու բարձրացրեց երկինք՝ հրեշտակների մոտ: Դու անկասկած աշխարհի բոլոր ժամանակների լավագույն սոպրանոներից ես: Գեղեցիկ ու անկրկնելի է ոչ միայն ձայնդ, այլև աստվածային՝ մաքուր ու անեղծ ներքինդ: Շնորհակալ ենք: Քեզ և քո ընտանիքին առողջություն և հաջողություն: Աստծո աջը միշտ գլխիդ լինի: Շատ, շատ սիրում ենք քեզ:
very nise performance i must say hearing the duduk crying in the background makes you go crazy of what he monsters had done to my people but like the old saying goes dont forget what you did on your way up because you will meet the same people on your way down God Bless Armenia and the god bless the souls of 1.5 million Armenians
i AM armenian, and honestly i feel like the rehearsal was far more beautiful than the performance. I wish you'd given us more of all of you sitting at the table. absolutely gorgeous.
The man that wrote this song is Komitas Vardapet and his real name is Sogomon Gevorki Sogomonyan. He was one of the most wonderful artists that was raised in Anatolia.
we are few but we are The Armenians we are few but we gave more than the others we are few but we are productive we are few but we never been a burden to any country we are few but our voice sounds more than a Billion we are few but our music is being herd all over the Globe
Dear friend, we have to accept that every people has its own style of singing... don`t forget that she`s an opera singer. and an opera singer sings much better than any other singer in the world... :) However, Kardes Turkuler sings it well...but Isabel Bayrakhdarian sings it in a more personal, more emotional way... I like both versions :) Good luck to her - and thanks for sharing the video with us
Very interesting. I also find the "moded out" duduks, with clarinet keys. I have heard about this, but never actually seen a duduk like that. If you enjoy this music, check out Manik Grikorian. She passed away a few years ago, but her voice is a legend.
Zvartnots is a church, built outside the traditional Armenian archetecture of churches....after it was built, it was decided to maintain the unique Armenian architecture of building churches, where the foundation is based on cross.
Its time to give the Armenians, Assyrians and Greeks a voice! Time to reconise the Armenian Genocide, like the grown-ups that we are. No more running away like scared little children!
Anlamını bilmiyorum.Ama emperyalizmin nice zaman oyununa gelmis Anadolu halkının acılarını dile getiriyor besbelli.Bu oyunlara hala geliyoruz..Bu tatlı yaslı melodileri hep birlikte duyugulanarak dinliyelim..Bayrakdaryan gibi Knar da dinlenmeli..
angelic voice great song great performance - this particular rendition with the haunting duduk ensemble absolute ARMENIAN magic. Isabel sounds as great as when I heard her live in London. Pity about the annoying and completely out of place eastern/western Armenian "debate". Also, Isabel please note, Zvartnots is NOT a pagan temple or as old as you think by Armenian standards (i.e. pre Christian). It's in fact a Christian temple from, I think from, 7th century.
@zarmanazan of course, no one has the right to tell that the western armenian is wrong, there are a lot of foreign words in eastern armenian, but western has not many derivations, we should keep it, it is a great language and we should be proud of those armenians that have kept it and speek now in diaspora, this way they have armenian identity with them, think armenian, speak armenian. that's great. Bravo to all of them :)

The ruins of Zvartnots are of an Armenian church built during the 7th century, not a pagan temple (although excavations do indicate that it may have been built on the platform of one).
Ok I am from turkey..my two cents..She cant change dile yaman to lele yaman..very wrong..where did she get the idea from??i dont understand it..and unfortunately musicwise it is not done very well..Kardes Turkuler (which means Brother Songs) from turkey sings this song really good.. Dont get me wrong guys..I really love this song...
Armenians are very old nationality who survived horrible masscres and tortures. Because of the Armenian Genocide, the Armenians are 8-10 millions all around the world, rather than 50 millions if the Genocide didn't happen from 1915-1923. Thus more than 1.5 millions were barbarically killed. The remnants of the orphans who survived the Genocide are scattered all over the world. One of them is myself, the daughter of a survivor who was orphaned in 1915. For 95 years we haven't had closure yet.
I'm spanish and don' t understand at all armenian language, but i feel someone very sad in my soul when I lisen.... Can anybody tell me whera to find any traslation to spanish or english? Thanks in advance
While I surely do not know about the original transcript as well as you, maybe it would be of interest that "del" is not a Turkish, but Persian word simply meaning "the heart" (and the -e is a nominative marker). In connection with the expression "Yaman" it makes proper sense, I would say. Anyway, just my two cents ;-)
Armanıans are allways our brothers,ı am kurdısh,we lıved together many many ceuntrys,also we related with armenians,ı wish every human being lives together in brotherhood,death to emperialism
boys hear the music..it doesnt have a country ... did you all chosen your countries by ur selves that you are all proad of your place of birth?? be proad of what you have gain in your life time by your selves... and here the music!!!!
I'm sorry but after what the Turks did to the Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians and what they tried to do to the Arabs, how can you expect me to forgive We must not dwell on such issues such as the Armenian Genocide or the Holocaust, but instead keep an eye on Turkey to make sure that they don't do something or encourage hate to other nations ever again! If it seem like they're trying to influence other nations, run and get help immediately! That goes for Iran and Israel as well!
This is the best version of Dle Yaman I have heard. Her voice is angelic, and hearing this song makes me tear up. It expresses our grief, the grief that lays deep within every passionate Armenian.

Lovely , I liked the video
This is Zvartnots - ancient cathedral which translates as "heavenly angel". It's located near Etchmiadzi, Armenia's main religious centre.
very relaxing
@tenorismo you are very right my friend its the Armenian unifying spirit that keeps us together
god bless you
Great !!!
That is what I had originally titled the video, however on the DVD it is titled Le Le Yaman so I changed it. She also sings it Le Le Yaman in the song
Dear friend,
we have to accept that every people has its own style of singing...
don`t forget that she`s an opera singer.
and an opera singer sings much better than any other singer in the world... :)
However, Kardes Turkuler sings it well...but Isabel Bayrakhdarian sings it in a more personal, more emotional way...
I like both versions :)
Good luck to her - and thanks for sharing the video with us
esi verchna Izabel jan Maladec
Great!!
She did amazing in The theme Evenstar From the Lord of the rings
=]
0:51 - 1:19 is sooo sweet.
Very interesting.
I also find the "moded out" duduks, with clarinet keys. I have heard about this, but never actually seen a duduk like that. If you enjoy this music, check out Manik Grikorian. She passed away a few years ago, but her voice is a legend.

Great in summary
she sang a song in the LotR =)
The Place is called "Zvartnoc" It's in Armneia
just go to Amazon and search for Isabel Bayrakdarian
angelic voice great song great performance - this particular rendition with the haunting duduk ensemble absolute ARMENIAN magic. Isabel sounds as great as when I heard her live in London.

Also, Isabel please note, Zvartnots is NOT a pagan temple or as old as you think by Armenian standards (i.e. pre Christian). It's in fact a Christian temple from, I think from, 7th century.
@HexagonalBolts She pronounces the name of the instrument (DUDUK).
@zarmanazan of course, no one has the right to tell that the western armenian is wrong, there are a lot of foreign words in eastern armenian, but western has not many derivations, we should keep it, it is a great language and we should be proud of those armenians that have kept it and speek now in diaspora, this way they have armenian identity with them, think armenian, speak armenian. that's great.

The ruins of Zvartnots are of an Armenian church built during the 7th century, not a pagan temple (although excavations do indicate that it may have been built on the platform of one).
Is it possible to get an actual audio recording of this? or was it just for the filming?
Vana Dzoveeeeee
Ok I am from turkey..my two cents..She cant change dile yaman to lele yaman..very wrong..where did she get the idea from??i dont understand it..and unfortunately musicwise it is not done very well..Kardes Turkuler (which means Brother Songs) from turkey sings this song really good.. Dont get me wrong guys..I really love this song...
from where did u get da documentary "A Long Journey Home"? I'm trying to find it!
barzank....!
What is the name of the place/ancient church where she is singing the song? It is also in Zara's filmclip of the same name?
@Takoushjanik So nicely said!
Armenians are very old nationality who survived horrible masscres and tortures. Because of the Armenian Genocide, the Armenians are 8-10 millions all around the world, rather than 50 millions if the Genocide didn't happen from 1915-1923.

One of them is myself, the daughter of a survivor who was orphaned in 1915. For 95 years we haven't had closure yet.
What genre is this music? She says: "the sound of' and then a word pronounced: 'Duhduhdook', at 0:23 but I'm not sure what it actually is.
Wonderful!! What part of Armenia this video was filmed? Is a beautiful place!
This was filmed at the ancient ruins of Zvartnots, just outside of Yerevan.
Zvartnots was a 7th century church, not a pagan temple, just to make a minor correction.
why lele yaman & not dle yaman? lovely voice!!!!!
Doesn't the original manuscript also say "VANA DZOVIN" instead of "MASIS SARIN?"
Why did they change it to MASIS SARIN?
Dajigneren gu vakhnank?
zarmanazan you are right about Gomidas!!
I'm spanish and don' t understand at all armenian language, but i feel someone very sad in my soul when I lisen.... Can anybody tell me whera to find any traslation to spanish or english? Thanks in advance

wow, she's good 0_O! too bad the music only starts like after 4 minutes -__- kinda frustrating.
with all my respect to all my fellow Armenians across the world- but why the dispute? Let's just shut up , and imbibe the plesure of the performance.
Armanıans are allways our brothers,ı am kurdısh,we lıved together many many ceuntrys,also we related with armenians,ı wish every human being lives together in brotherhood,death to emperialism
@obiko2fix But she was born in Lebanon, so she's not really Armenian.
boys hear the music..it doesnt have a country ... did you all chosen your countries by ur selves that you are all proad of your place of birth?? be proad of what you have gain in your life time by your selves... and here the music!!!!
One of the pest performances of Dle Yaman
zvartnots is not a pagan temple its a christian church.
happy?.. i see that you don´t really know this song
Armenian
I would say you won. You are clearly more intelligent than the other guy. At least you write a lot better, ha. Just thought I would add my two cents.
I'm sorry but after what the Turks did to the Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians and what they tried to do to the Arabs, how can you expect me to forgive
