Armenian song composed by Komitas Vardapet.

"Dle Yaman was written as a love song, but after the Genocide, the lyrics I miss my beloved acquired a different meaning. I miss my beloved not because hes late from tending the sheep in the mountains. No, he was massacred." Isabel Bayrakdarian.

"Dle Yaman" was one of the thousands of ancient Armenian folksongs collected and preserved by Komitas Vardapet (1869-1935), a composer, musicologist and the founder of modern Armenian classic music.

Komitas's life was spared through the intervention of a group of influential friends during the Armenian Genocide in 1915, but he lived to see everyone he loved to die in the Genocide. Komitas had never recovered from the emotional shock.

He died in a psychiatric mental institute.
