My Armenian grandmother wasn't really a fan of the kind of music I liked when I was young. But she liked SOAD when I told her they are Armenian too. I miss her dearly.

so soothing, so beautiful. and it's equally beautiful to see father and son singing together.

The way he smiles to his father is adorable

Serj needs to release more folk material like this and Artsakh

As being a Turk, I empathise with you and want to say that I am really sorry for your sufferings and the situation that we couldn't be able to live together with peace any more and you had to leave the country. But you have to know that there are so many Turks that are still feeling brotherhood rather than hostility towards Armenians and wishing deeply to put an end to this on going never ending hatred. I hope that we'll see those days soon. Shad Shnorhagal em Khatchadour and Serj Tankian.

My mom used to sing this to me as a lullaby every night. She passed away 10 years ago today. Thank you for singing this, Serj.

Now I understand why Serj has so much talent ...

Thank you mr. Khatchadour, u made a legend . You two sounds great . Love from Serbia

U can tell serj must be a good person just by how much getting to play with his father makes him smile. Serj is truely an inspiration

I came back here because of Artsakh where my nation is currently suffering under the new henocide from azerbajan. This song helps me to cope with the endless agony we’ve been having the past months until now. All we want is to live with peace with our parents and kids and make our ancestors proud. God save Armenia, my HAYRENIQ ❤🙏🏼🕊️

Reading down with the system right now. It just felt right to listen to this piece of history. Thank you for sharing that Serj. We don't know each other but we are very much alike.

Found out it was Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day today and just remembered this great song. Beautiful.

Прелепо, поздрав из Србије 🇦🇲🇷🇸❤️

Makes me want to learn Armenian, then sing it with my dad.

This song just speaks to me even though i dont understand arminian but still i love this song

I don't see a world-class vocalist here. I am seeing a son who's having a good time with his father. A part of a happy family singing folk songs, indeed a nice family. As a Turk, I am sorry too for all those things that had happened and I apologize. I wish we still had those beautiful families around us, grew up together with these songs.

Ничего не понимаю на армянском но за душу берет , могу слушать вечно

Хороший отец вырастил хорошего сына ...молодцы ..браво

I didn't know I needed this in my life until I saw it. And then I knew I did, and was glad in my heart I had found it. And I understand not a single word of it, but know it to be beautiful. Thank you, gentlemen, for this wonderful song.

Hello from Bulgaria Armenian brothers

I just remembered this song after reading of yet another unnecessary bloodbath in Artsakh. Hope it will resolve soon.

As a Colombian person, i feel so intrigued by Armeniam culture, despite the fact i can't understand what you guys are singing, i appreciate the feeling this song transmits

Knowing that this man has voiced SoaD for so long, and seeing him do a beautiful duet with his pops sends him to the top of my "Favorite Vocalist" list. Serj has an amazing voice! And his pops as well!

"Bari Arakeel" and "Martigi Yerke" such a masterpieces!! Greetings from Mexico people from Armenia! ❤

Listening to this song in 2024, while reading Serj's book, has opened to my eyes to a culture that I was not taught at the age I was when SOAD released Hypnotize and Chop Suey!

Спасибо дорогому Хачатуру и Сержу , исполнение столь трогательной песни было на высшем уровне , армянский сын армянского народа 👍🏻

Сержик, ты лучший! Красивая песня, красивые голоса, радушный армянский народ!

Красивая песня. Посмотрите, с какой любовью, смотрит Serj на отца. Да же мне тепло от этого взгляда.

I love you Serj, your music is the most inspiring of anyone i listen to, or even a reporter, peace be with you always brother

No matter how many times i hear this song (even if on repeat) it warms the soul every single time. Absolutely precious in every perfect way.

Отец,о мой Отец я слышу тебя и твой голос,тот голос который я никокда не забуду,живи отец вечно,вечно и навсегда...

More honest peaceful and gentle people like you is what the world needs. We're all kardeşler/yeghbayrnerin/αδέρφια, after all. Peace from Greece!

Arageel means stork in Armenian and for Armenians it's a symbol of joy, peace and abundance.

his father has a beautiful voice :)

I love the way that guitar sounds. Its so rich and full. And their voices are perfect together. Thank you for this

Великолепная песня, но что больше всего радует - единство отца и сына. Только счастливые люди могут похвастать этим. Всех благ!

Listening to Down with the System for the second time in a row and felt i needed to come hear this. Serj is a wonderful artist and a beautiful soul. Greetings from Colorado and with love and respect for the people of Armenia. May we live to see a world free of genocide. Maybe Palestine will finally be the thing that wakes us all up. One can only pray. Long live Armenia.

Я не бездомный, не иностранец, У меня есть покой, есть приют. Свободная родина, счастливая страна, Счастливая, счастливая страна. Добрый аист, аист удачи, Аист в весенней поре, Аист в летнюю пору, Живи у моего дома, добрый аист, Сделай свое гнездо на дереве, на верхушке тополя. Аист, пой счастливо со мной, На горном пастбище, со стадом в поле. Поля, сады, красивая страна. красивая, красивая Страна

I'm speechless. So beautiful. So poignant. I miss my father everyday. RIP MILTON GONÇALVES MONTEIRO 21.11.1931 01.02.2004 🇨🇴🇧🇷🏴🖤

Damn, Serj sounds so much like his dad. They sound amazing

This video makes me cry... remembering my father thats far to me

When i was young i always saw serj like a pretty crazy dude because his roll in SOAD and now that i see this other part of him im shock but at the same time just astonishing, how beautiful is this, serj is an artist of his own kind!

I love this song so much! It reminds me of my father..... Serj is my fav musician ever!!! Doesn´t matter in which band he plays/sings - he´s the best! SOAD was the first I was introduced to. But his solo carrier was even better. His melancholic tunes...the lyrics...everything ... I would spend my monthly salery to see him live (in Germany)

Спасибо прекрасное исполнение мы Армяне живём везде но по Родной Армении очень скучаем. ДАЙ БОГ ВАМ ЗДОРОВЬЯ ОТ ДУШИ...........

Absolutely amazing song and serj and his father have truly one of a kind voices. I'm of no Armenian decent and I've read the lyrics this song is a true beauty in all languages. I have an immense amount of respect for Armenia and for everything their people and country have been through and the perseverance and heart they have shown in times of adversity. Much love and respect from Illinois usa to Armenia and those who strive to make it better!

I'm turkish but I really like this song or all serj tankian soad songs

Very EMOTIONAL interpretation of this old and beautiful song. Bravo. Amazing. Thank you, Serj, from the bottom of my heart. Our generation grew up with this song in Armenia. I hope to hear more folk songs from you.

So much passion and love it makes me cry :') love from the state of NY

Удивительная песня.... Несмотря на улыбку Сержа, хочется плакать, потому что внутри всё очень взволновано....

Serj is a great musician, everything he does is golden.

Отец и сын вместе поют - это многого стоит!!! Очень красивая песня!!!

real father and son moment

amazing. Thank you! Cheers from the Armenian community of São Paulo, Brazil

красивый язык и песня мелодичная напевная такая, спасибо

Este es un ejemplo ver a Serj Tankian cantando esta interpretación junto con su señor padre . A todas las comunidades y a todos mis estimados amigos y seguidores Feliz día del Padre

Father & Son ...it's so Beautiful ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😢

эту песню я всю жизнь буду слушать!

#Respect from Georgia!

It is amazing how many DIFFERENT-SPEAKING people gather in the comments. And this song (and not only this one) unites everyone and it turns out to be close to everyone. I read the same thoughts of different people in different languages ​​... I probably listened to all the songs of "System" at the university when they were at their peak. I’m Russian, I live in Bulgaria and my neighbors are Serbs, Italians, Spanish, Greeks, Jews and Armenians are like relatives to us. There are many storks, the same nature, mountains, slopes, forests ... And the meaning of the song turns out to be native ... There are Californian Armenians, there are French Armenians, there are Bulgarian Armenians, there are Russians Armenians. And it turns out there is something OVER the languages. A kind of common particle of the soul. Это удивительно, сколько РАЗНОГОВОРЯЩИХ людей собираются в комментариях. И всех объединяет эта песня (и не только она) и всем она оказывается близка. Я читаю на разных языках одни и те же мысли разных людей... Я переслушала, наверное все песни "Системы" ещё в университете, когда они были на пике, я русская, живу в Болгарии и соседи -- сербы, итальянцы, испанцы, греки, евреи и армяне -- нам как родные. Тут много аистов, такая же природа, горы, склоны, леса... И смысл песни, оказывается вдруг родным... Есть калифорнийские армяне, есть французские, есть болгарские, есть русские. И оказывается есть что-то НАД языками. Некая общая частичка души.

When they sing perfectly at the same time, it's like, absurd, such an incredible and powerful song.

This video always made me feel very nostalgic. Now, several years after my dad passed away, I can't help but cry when I watch it. Thanks for sharing this. It is absolutely beautiful.

цепляет за душу ! молодцы!

Honestly, this is my favorite serj performance. If only for the family and musical chemistry with his dad

Хотел бы я также с папой петь. жаль отец никогда не поддерживал меня в музыке. а тут видно что отец Сержа повлиял на него. я люблю своего отца, но когда я смотрю это видео, становится както грустно, завидно. возможно именно изза этого я своего сына (ему 6 лет) учу играть на гитаре прямо сейчас и пою и играю вместе с ним. хоть и как всегда времени не хватает. НО хотя бы час в день я уделяю его занятиям. может быть лет через 20, когда он будет смотреть это видео. он подумает "вот блин, прямо как мы с папой"

I'm not homeless, and I haven't lost my homeland I have peace, I have a shelter. Free homeland, happy country, Happy, happy country. Good stork, good luck stork, Stork in the springtime, Stork in the summertime, Live near my house, good stork, Make your nest in a tree at the top of a poplar.

I dont understand a word,but i feel strong emotions while listening to it,and i support Armenia in their struggle to get the genocide by the Turks recognized.Greetings and love from Serbia.And also i listen to SOAD/Serj/Daron since i was 13,and now im 26.Goodbye and best of luck. EDIT:I know to sing most of the song but can't understand :D

this might be the most beautiful thing I've ever heard

I miss my Father . So lovely to see the joy upon their faces in the simple act of raising their voices in song . Slainté

Greetings from Greece. Salute to the oppressed, betrayed and deprived armenian people. Stay strong.

Those lyrics, the intonation, so many little details that already triggered such strong feelings even before reading the translation, the very same beautiful, honest and strong pursuit of happiness that knows no borders. Cigüeña amable, cigüeña afortunada. Saludos desde Venezuela.

Serj Tankian will always be my favourite musician ever.

Какой голос прекрасный, как играет, не могу остановиться слушать. Спасибо Боже за этого человека!

This song is so beautiful and i'm proud that my people where there to help the armenian people. Keep on with the great work serj!

What can I say? The whole video is so emotional. Love to see people like Serj honouring our origins. Great musician, great MAN. Hope to meet u one day.

"Featuring Serj Tankian" I love that kind respect.

Great Armenian song sung by very talented father and son Khatchadour Tankian and Serj Tankian! Serj, dear, we adore SOAD and are proud of you and with the rest Armenian members of this legendary rock group!

В конце ролика так искренно улыбнулись!!! Так это умиляет!!! Молодцы!!!

man, serj's voice sounds so good.

Мурашки по коже...красивая песня, красавчик Серж!

I’m so happy for seeing serj with his father

It's so beautiful to see, that despicte Serj is world famous, he's father has the higher chair. Prove of respect and humility.

Verlo cantar con tanta pasion con el papa. Me hace adorarlo mucho mas!!!!

The way he stares at his dad ..Serj himself Is a World Wide star but, uncaring of that, made his father the star of this clip
