En af hans sange, “Kroonk”, findes i en del indspilninger, og er også nået Vesten.
Under videoen på YouTube er der en oversættelse.
Og i en af kommentarerne under videoen, er der denne tekst:

If you hear you cannot stop,
You want to be born as new Crane,
Carrying you over Armenian Highland (So Westen Turkey).
To view distorted lands Abolished palaces,
Ruined Churches, as if you reached end of civilization,
Armenians on that ground are all Turkified…
They lost their alphabet Can’t sing in their tongue,
They pray for new god Who genocided their kin…
Their grandfathers They can only Lilt…
Lilt Looking at the sky see Groongs (Cranes),
Ask to take them away from genocided land.
