about

A horseback riding song from Imereti, western Georgia.

The refrain consists entirely of standardized syllabic vocalizations with no inherent meaning.

lyrics

Adiloi, adiloi
dila wo dilav da aralo, ivri aralo

Oi! Tskhenze vzivar chem shav tskhenze da
una girze amosuvar delo
ivri aralo (dilo dela)
Adiloi, adiloi
dila wo dilav da aralo, ivri aralo

Oi! Ch'iat'uras kusli vkari da
ak Tbilisshi chamosulvar delo
ivri aralo (dilo dela)
Adiloi, adiloi
dila wo dilav da aralo, ivri aralo

Oi! Miqvardi chemi megone da
eklha da mitsqe mdureba delo
ivri aralo (dilo dela)
Adiloi, adiloi
dila wo dilav da aralo, ivri aralo


I'm sitting on my horse, my black horse,
up on the saddle

I ran with my heels flying from Ch'iatura

I loved you and thought you were mine
but now you are starting to annoy me
and have arrived in Tbilisi
