I found "Tamzara" in Armenian script -- Թամզարա -- plugged it into a Google image search, and found this web page with Armenian dance song lyrics and music: http://www.houshamadyan.org/arm/mapottomanempire/vilayetdiyarbekir/...

According to Wikipedia, "tamzara" is a kind of dance, so there may be many songs out there known popularly as "Tamzara."

All the best,
John

You are right
Tamzara is a 9/8 Armenian rythm / dance similar to Greek and Turkish "Karsilama"

Thanks again
