VIOLET ON THE MOUNTAIN<br />
Char-char, chari-rama,<br />
Chari-rama, O grandfather,<br />
I can’t find Georgian tobacco,<br />
And makhorka drove you crazy.<br />
Char-char, chari-rama,<br />
Chari-rama, my dear brother,<br />
If we go on living like this,<br />
It is bitter herbs and poison.<br />
I am an unmarried woman<br />
I am an unmarried woman;<br />
My mother is no help to me.<br />
When beautiful boys catch my eye,<br />
My heart wants to burst into tears.<br />
I have an apple to play with,<br />
I dropped it, it’s rolling toward you;<br />
If you will not be mine,<br />
May you be cut off at the roots!<br />
Spinning song: Spinning wheel, bzio<br />
Spinning wheel, bzio, bzi,<br />
Won’t you spin some thread for me;<br />
Mother-in-law’s shirt to be,<br />
May you turn out awfully!<br />
Spinning song: Araru, Darejan<br />
Araru, araru, Darejan<br />
Set up her spinning wheel outside;<br />
If her child starts crying inside,<br />
She’ll sing a lullaby outside.<br />
