Shen khar venakhi, akhlad aqvavebuli. Thou art a vineyard, newly blossomed out.

Norchi ketili, Edems shina nerguli. Tender, beautiful, planted in Eden,

(Alva suneli, samotkhes amosuli.) (Aloe-scented from Paradise.)
(Ghmertman shegamko vervina gjobs kebuli.) (God adorned thee, no one deserves praise as thou,)
Da tavit tvisit mze khar da gabrtsqinvebuli. And thou art thyself a brilliant sun.

Shen khar venakhi
13th Century Georgian Wedding Song
harmonized by Zakhary Paliashvili words by King Demetre I of Georgia (10931156)
