In the song the guy, in his mind, speaks to the girl standing under shadow of the rose shrub and the breeze plays with her silk dress. The guy says he admires the radiance of her face and blue and deep eyes, resembling a sea. We learn from his later words that it has probably got dark and the girl has left, has gone home and the guy still wanders not knowing what to do, looking at the moon which already goes beyond the mountain, and the violet hardly seen in the moon. But the guy would rather see his beloved than roses and violets.
The Armenian text of the song in Latin letters:

Kayner es vardi hovin,
Hoy nar, nar, nar,
Hoy nar, nar, hoy nar, nare!
Qamin ta krtsqid movin,
Hoy nar, nar, hoy nare.

Eresid shoghin mernim,
Hoy nar, nar, nar,
Hoy nar, nar, hoy nar, nare!
Achqerid kapouyt tsovin,
Hoy nar, nar, hoy nare.

Lousnake sari takin,
Hoy nar, nar, nar,
Hoy nar, nar, hoy nar, nare!
Manoushak - tpi takin,
Hoy nar, nar, hoy nare.

Yes im yarin karot em,
Hoy nar, nar, nar,
Hoy nar, nar, hoy nar, nare!
Qants vard u manoushakin,
Hoy nar, nar, hoy nare.
