Kurdish legend Sivan Perwer is part Armenian

Sivan announced to his fans after a concert in Stockholm, Sweden, that it is true that he is part Armenian. He has an Armenian grandmother and has Armenian friends in Sweden and Lebanon.
He is from Riha (Urfa), northern Kurdistan (east Turkey).

In this song, Sivan sings about a Syriac (suryoyo) girl.

Sivan Perwer - Sare


Lyrics:

Sarê rabe êvar e, delalîkê rabe êvar e
Sîyê girtî zinare
Sî ket ber dîware
Min bi heyrana gerdenê
Wan biskê te yî li dar e

Sarê keça Sûrya ye, delalîka dayik û bava ye
Min go Sarê were vir
Sûryoyî xeber daye
Dinê me ji hev cuda ye, lê dilê me di hev de maye
Em gelek ji hev hezdikin
Ferqa dîn qet nemaye
Sarê tu Sara min î, rindikê tu yara min î
Ez bi heyrana gerdenê, wan biskên te yên şekirî
Zar û ziman ne zor e, ger tu dixwazî fêr bibî
De were te fêr bikim, da bi Kurdî xeber bidî
