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

what makes me sing, bottomless sky, iris-colour,

if i'm happy i sing,if i'm sad, i still sing,

what makes me sing, roses breath, poppy-colour,

maybe godparents wanted me to sing, so i sing.

bird, birdie, bird-pearl and...

bird, birdie, bird-pearl and...

my song, this sun this people, this sky gave birth to,

when i sing, my childhood makes me warm from afar.

when i sing, i see my future old age,

without asking, in heart enters hidden sorrow.

bird, birdie, bird-pearl and...

bird, birdie, bird-pearl and...

my song, mounains taugt me, birds whistle,

i think, i started tanking with this songs,

like they say, if swan sings at the end of its life,

let me die singing, what else should i dream of other than this.
