На холмах Грузии лежит ночная мгла, Шумит Арагва предо мною. Мне грустно и легко: печаль моя светла, Печаль моя полна тобою Тобой, тобой одной. Унынья моего Ничто не мучит, не тревожит, И сердце вновь горит и [любит]1 оттого, Что не любить оно не может.

On Georgian hills lies night's darkness; The Aragvi roars before me. I feel sorrowful and at ease; My sadness is light; My sadness is full of you, You, only you... My gloom is not disturbed or tortured by anything, And my heart again burns and beats faster because It cannot renounce love.
