Derived from G. Svanidze’s 1924 recording of Petre Petriashili (Kartli, Antiphonal)
lyrics
Boy: Lady, sun-like lady, I have known you for ten months, on the eleventh, everything went dark, one minute became a day, lady, sun-like lady, bring light back to my day, don’t winterize our meeting, don’t make me a prisoner.
Girl: My sunlight, I am waiting for you everyday, torture has become more intensified; my day has turned to night
Boy: Lady, sun-like lady, I have known you for ten months, on the eleventh, everything went dark, one minute became a day
Girl : The sunlight enter, my day, my life, our fate was not to be together, our sun has darkened
Boy: Lady, sun-like lady, the sun has darkened, they can’t keep us apart, they have angered the sky, we will travel together to the otherworld, my life
(This is an old story of two lovers that were stoned to death, due to the adultery of the woman, there is still a pile of rocks marking the spot outside of Gori, in Karlti region called the Sunlike Lady’s Spot)
