there was also a commercially produced vinyl 78 record of this song, made in NY in the 1920s by Vahan Boyajian, accompanied by oud and violin. entitled "Der Zor Dasdaanaci" but its the same song. also Verjine Svazlian has written a book on the turkish language lamentations of that era inlcuding this song. the book is transcribed and posted on the internet somewhere.

Hi, thx a lot for the information re: Vahan Boyajian recording. When we were doing research we also came across the name of Professor Svazlian and her book about lamentations. Do you by any chance know other lamentations in Turkish from the same era that Armenians sang?

Derazor çöllerinde yaralı çoktur Gelme doktor gelme çarası yoktur Allahtan gayrı hiç kimsem yoktur Dini bin uğruna giden Ermeni Derazor çöllerinde bayıldım kaldım Harçlığım tükendi, evladım sattım Ana ben bu candan bıktım osandım Milleti uğruna giden Ermeni Goyver ana goyver gedelim çöle Olalım çırçıplak Araba köle Söylensin derdim dillerden dillere Evladı uğruna giden Ermeni

Ermeni kardeşlerim, acılarınızı paylaşıyorum. Keşke tarihdeki olaylar olmasaymış, yaşanmasaymış. Ama gelin görünki olmuş. Özür dilemekten başka yapabileceğimiz maalesef bir şey yok. Allah Ermenilerin de Türklerin de yolunu açık etsin, kardeşliklerini yeşillendirsin, büyütsün.

My grandfather used to sing this song. We are Assyrians btw.

@skhard I found Vahan Boyajian singing Gargeghar Canto and Rast Gazel on BilBil Record No.6 recorded in New York City on 78 rpm. I just listed it on eBay.

Hi , I am the director of the film Back to Ararat, in 1985 I have filmed a woan in the Armenian Home for Old People. She could not talk, the only thing she wanted to do was to sing and over and over again she sang the Der zor song,

which is a very long one, more than 400 verses. You can see her in the movie. she is then almost 90 yeras old. I have the footage.

Madem ermenisin herkese vermelisin

Madem Türksün göster de ürksün..

Boşuna Türkiye üzerinden oyunlar oynamayın. Çünkü oynadığınız oyunlar bizi bölmeye değil sizi bölüyor. Akıllı olanın kafası yerinde kalır.

Biz size akıllı olun diyoruz çakal olun demiyoruz...
