Dvin (Armenian: Դվին; Greek: Δούσιος or Τίβιον; also Duin or Dwin according to ancient sources) was a large commercial city and the capital of early medieval Armenia. It was situated north of the previous ancient capital of Armenia, the city of Artaxata, along the banks of the Metsamor River, 35 km to the south of modern Yerevan. The site of the ancient city is currently not much more than a large hill located between modern Hnaberd (just off the main road through Hnaberd) and Verin Dvin, Armenia. Systematic excavations at Dvin that have proceeded since 1937 have produced an abundance of materials, which have shed light into the Armenian culture of the 5th to the 13th centuries.
Ancient Armenian literary sources almost always give the name of the ancient city of Dvin as Dwin or Duin. Later authors favored the Dvin appellation, which is the most common form given in scholarly literature.
The ancient city of Dvin was built by Khosrov III of Armenia in 335 on a site of an ancient settlement and fortress from the third millennium B.C. Since then, the city had been used as the primary residence of the Armenian Kings of the Arsacid dynasty. Dvin boasted a population of about 100,000 citizens in various professions, including arts and crafts, trade, fishing, etc.

=============================
I thought at last that I had found someone
Someone who wouldn't let me down
Someone who wouldn't cheat on me
When I'm not around
Everybody says you better watch out
He's only gonna use you
Don't give your heart away to him
Cause his love ain't true
They keep sayin'
Better walk away while you can
'Cause your heart's in control and you don't understand
Still a young girl, he's almost a man
Better walk away while you can
It feels so right when we're together boy
But I don't want to be used
I'd like to give myself to you
But I'm so confused
You tell me everything I've heard about you
Is just a lot of silly lies (silly lies)
You're saying your in love with me
But something just ain't right
They keep saying
Better walk away while you can
'Cause your heart's in control and you don't understand
Still a young girl, he's almost a man
You better walk away while you can
I don't want to go through the sorrow
If your love is just come and go
Don't you let me wake up tomorrow
And be the last one to know
know...
They keep saying
Better walk away while you can
'Cause your heart's in control and you don't understand
Still a young girl, he's almost a man
You better walk away while you can
Walk away
I'm so confused
I better walk away while I can
'Cause my heart's in control and I don't understand
I'm a young girl, you're almost a man
Better walk away, walk away
I better walk away
(They keep sayin' better)
walk away while you can
'Cause your heart's in control and you don't understand
Still a young girl, he's almost a man
better walk away while you can
You better walk away while you can
better walk away while you can (you can)
