about
A west Georgian comic song with solo and duet verses, and refrain sung by the entire chorus. The song is in Megrelian (one of the three major Georgian languages ) and is usually accompanied by a 'chonguri', the four-stringed Georgian lute. The exclamation, "Sisa!" means "Shoo!"
lyrics
Okotomes mugok'od[uh] siesh mak'i, ch'ich'e t'ura
Ghoron tkvag gach'qoros[uh]do, kotomepi var k'omvchk'uma
Sisa! Sisa! Sisa, t'ura!
Sore qazakh[uh] chkini mura
Mumuli do dadu liepi arko gale kegloura
K'arikudos kilia duno, akhavai sk'ani ghura
Sisa! Sisa! Sisa, t'ura!
Sore qazakh[uh] chkini mura
Boro osur, boro, boro, qvarilma de ghuo moro
Osuvats'ma dziratolio, asho idzitsanko kolio
Sisa! Sisa! Sisa, t'ura!
Sore qazakh[uh] chkini mura
Obolit'qas mitvokhek[kuh], dida vap'unts[uh] do muma
Shkire nulo gilo urku, mutuni va mich'kumu ghuma
Sisa! Sisa! Sisa, t'ura!
Sore qazakh[uh] chkini mura
T'qura qazakh, t'qura, t'qura, sakhos vare ch'iech'e t'ura
T'qura qazakh, t'qura, t'qura, ghoreba sheni vadmen[uh] dura
Sisa! Sisa! Sisa, t'ura!
Ghoreba sheni vadmen[uh] dura
Sisa! Sisa! Sisa, t'ura! Ghoreba sheni vadmen[uh] dura, ho!
Wife:
What do you want in the hen coop, you sly little Jackal?
Do not anger God! Do not steal my hens!
Shoo, shoo, get out, Jackal!
Now where is that confounded dog Mura?
Husband:
The hens and roosters are all in the yard!
The door is left open!
Ah, the devil take you! Get out of my sight!
What are you laughing at?
Jackal:
Don't be angry with me, mistress!
I see that you have a lot of chickens—I'll take a couple along!
Like an orphan, I roam through the woods
I have no mother, no father, I am hungry!
I have eaten nothing since yesterday.
Dog:
It's a lie, it's a lie!
The little Jackal is nearby!
Do not be angry with me for taking him in!
