Chito, Gvrito [Miminos Simghera] ჩიტო, გვრიტო [English translation]

what makes me sing?

endless sky of the colour of an iris

when I'm happy I'm singing

when I'm sad I'm still singing

what makes me sing?

the breathing of the roses of the colour of poppies (i know sounds weird; just means that the roses are red/ have the colour of poppies )

probably they lighted me with singing

so I'm singing

bird, redbreast, bird, pearl and (sounds really senseless in English, it also is in Georgain though)

my song

is created by this sun, this people and this sky

when I'm singing

my childhood is heating me from afar

when I'm singing

I see my future seniority

without wishing there appears sadness in my soul

my song

mtebma mascavla chitebis stvenam

ase mgonia am simgerebit avidgi ena

like they say, the swan is singing at the end of life

i wish dieing while singing, why should I wish for more?
