Georgian Song

I will bury the seed of a grape
In the warmth of the garden
And I’ll suck at the vine
And pluck at the clusters of pearls
To my friends, I will open my heart
And then beg of their pardon
For why else am I destined to dwell
In this undying world?
So, come and 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 will 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 is curled into every corner
And found me
I’ll see twisting and tangling
Over and over in swirls
Blue oxen, white eagles
And flounders of gold all around me
For why else am I destined to dwell
In this undying world?
Blue oxen, white eagles
And flounders of gold all around me
For why else am I destined to dwell
In this undying world?
