lyrics
Bebia,
Chaitsvi da deikhure gakalishvildebia.
Bebia,
Pulsats mogtsem, mzitvsats mogtsem, tuk’i gatkhovdelia.
Babua,
Ts’na tutuns tu ver gishovni makhork’am gabrua.
Bitsola,
Vints shen ar ts’egitsoda, mas kondes chemi tsodva.
Translation:
Grandmother,
Dress up nice and you’ll be a young girl again
Grandmother,
I will give you money, and a dowry, if you marry someone
Grandfather,
If I can’t find you some tobacco, the makhorka* will make you dizzy
Aunt,
Whoever does not pity you, let them have my problems.
*very strong, coarse, cheap tobacco
