This Tushetian dirge from the mountains of Georgia is traditionally sung by women as a mother's lament.

lyrics

Deda mogikvdesa Chem shvilo dedai
Deda gagitavda, shen tavis dedai
Deda gagitavda, shen tavis dedai

Shvilo sit gastsire, gudait nabadit
An johk sit gastsire, begt miqudebuli
An jokh sit gastsire, begt miqudebuli

Shvilo me shen tskhensa, shav una girzeda
Aghvirebs shevaqri, tqe-velad gushveba
Aghvirebs shevaqri, tqe-velad gushveba

Translation:
Mother would like to die for you, my child.
She is destroyed, your own mother.

Where did you go with your pack and shepherd’s coat,
I will throw the black bridle over your horse,
Let it out into the forest and field.

Mother would like to die for you, my child.
She is destroyed, your own mother
