Lyrics

Imeret’is niavo, tkbilo rogorts’ maqrulo,
Rogor gadzlos am ts’is k’vesh
gulma usiqvarulod,
Rogor gadzlos netav, am ts’is k’vesh
gulma usiqvarulod.

Maspindzeli maspindzlobs,
t’it’k’os mets’khre ts’azea.
Ak’ qovelt’vis asea,
guli lkhinit’ savsea,
Rogor gadzlos netav, am ts’is k’vesh
gulma usiqvarulod.

Words in the Georgian alphabet

იმერეთის ნიავო, ტკბილო როგორც მაყრულო,
როგორ გაძლოს ამ ცის ქვეშ
გულმა უსიყვარულოდ,
როგორ გაძლოს ნეტავ, ამ ცის ქვეშ
გულმა უსიყვარულოდ.

მასპინძელი მასპინძლობს,
თითქოს მეცხრე ცაზეა.
აქ ყოველთვის ასეა,
გული ლხინით სავსეა,
როგორ გაძლოს ნეტავ, ამ ცის ქვეშ
გულმა უსიყვარულოდ.

Translation

The breeze of Imereti, you are so sweet.
How can my heart endure under this sky without love.
How can my heart endure under this sky without love.

The hosts of hosts is still happy.
It is always like that here, hearts are full of joy.
How can my heart endure under this sky without love.
