So beautiful, so delicate yet powerful although i don't understand the language....i still understand everything in this piece. The shot of the girl in the audience just accents this
Yel, yel, deh, yel... means Come on, Get up, Get up, Get up, etc. (says the farmer peasant to his exhausted ox, after a long day at work) Lachin, Maral, (the names of both oxes, his partners and friends at work) Get up, get up, etc. The day is over, The wind blew. It was getting dark: The stars came out. This is one of a lot of work-songs, dedicated to every different land labors (both women's and men's works. Here, father Komitas remarks the importance of oxes and other kind of hard working animals, for his owner and his family). In short, this song is an anguished call to revive his comrade workers, his beloved animals.
