reference recordings:
Eleoni Ensemble – Kalo Kalta Mzeo
this is a way I recorded it but don’t perform usually:
Lyrics:
Kalo, Kalta Mzeo
Kalo, kalta mzeo
Gitsnob ati tveo
Metertmet’e damibenele
Ts’uti gakhda dgheo
Kalo kaltamzeo
Am chems sakhezeo,
Karagmai ts’aik’itkhe
Mauts’qe rigzeo
Kalo kaltamzeo
Gaminate dgheo
Shekhvedra nu damizamtre,
Nu gamkhade t’qveo
Kalo, kaltamzeo
Chemi grdznobis t’qveo
Rom mogik’vde rasai pikrob
Saikiozeo
Kalo, kaltamzeo
Khedav gavkhdi bzeo
Karma, rom shemomikrolos
Amisvris banzeo
Kalo, kaltamzeo
Gitsnob ati tveo,
Metertmet’es nu gaiqvan
Mamidek gverdzeo
Translation:
Woman, Sun woman
I’d known you for ten months
When on the eleventh, my world became dark
A minute became a day
Woman, Sun woman
Light up the day
Don’t make our meeting feel like winter
Don’t make a captive out of me
Woman, Sun woman
Prisoner of my feelings
If I were to die for you,
What would you think of the afterlife?
Woman, Sun woman
I’ll turn into the shell of a seed
The wind will blow me
Across the rooftops
Woman, Sun woman
I’d known you for ten months
When on the eleventh my world became dark
A minute become a day.
