I'll Die for the Wind of the Mountains

Been meaning to share this song for a while, it's beautiful and haunting and touches my soul every time.

The sound quality is surprisingly great considering it's Fancam.

Daily Dimash: I'll Die for the Wind of the Mountains



“Sareri Hovin Mernem” is a popular Armenian folk song that translates to “I’ll Die for the Wind of the Mountains”. It is a timeless love ballad that has been passed down through generations. The song is about a woman who is waiting for her lover to return from the mountains. She sings about how she will die for the wind of the mountains if her lover does not return. Dimash performed this song at his first solo concert in Yerevan, Armenia, on April 29.

Reportedly he learned the song only hours before the concert as a gift/surprise for his Armenian Dears. <3 And at the end he mimics the sound of a duduk.

From wiki: The duduk or tsiranapogh (Armenian: ծիրանափող, meaning "apricot-made wind instrument"), is a double reed woodwind instrument made of apricot wood originating from Armenia.

You can hear what it sounds like below, it's sorrowful and beguiling.



From the comments to the video:

Aram Khatchatryan once said, “Duduk is not only a musical instrument, it is soul and sense. Duduk is a collective symphony that comes from melodic modulation of sentiments of the Armenian people.” Indeed! Duduk tells the story of a heart, a soul, grief, happiness, pain and the loss of 1.5 million Armenians!

Further info: Why isn't the killing of 1.5 million Armenians officially called a 'genocide'?
