GEORGIAN SONG - ГРУЗИНСКАЯ ПЕСНЯ

I will bury the seed of a grape in the warmth of the garden
I'll suckle the vine and pluck at the clusters of pearls
To my friends I'll open my heart and then beg of their pardon
For why else am I destined to dwell in this undying world?

Come gather, my comrades, and join in the banquet before you
Tell me straight to my face what you see when my robe is unfurled
And my father in heaven, forgive me my sins, I implore you
For why else am I destined to dwell in this undying world?

All in crimson my darling'll dance for me singing and sighing
All my colorless rags will collapse at her feet as she twirls
I will listen enchanted and know that of love I am dying
For why else am I destined to dwell in this undying world?

So when sunset has curled into every corner and found me
I'll see drifting and tangling over and over in swirls:
Blue oxen, white eagles, flounders of gold, all around me
For why else am I destined to dwell in this undying world?
