lyrics

Go to the banks,
give us news,
about our brother
he went with the troops.

In the water, look in the water
He had red boots.
He had red boots.

Black box, boots of power
I´m going to war
Those bastard black hawks
darling you´ll be earing good news
I´m gonna be the one they fear
I´m gonna be the man of the year
I´m gonna be the best thing of the year

And all the birds will be singing,
in the morning
And all the birds will be singing,
in the morning

Gaprindi Shavo Merskalo

The black hawks are coming
The black hawks are coming in
I found his body by the Alazani
Ruddy water, broken trees.
I went to his mouth and I eat his tongue
It lets me sing what he had sung

it´ll be the bird song of the year
it´ll be the best song

And all the birds will be singing,
in the mourning
And all the birds will be singing,
in the mourning

Gaprind shavo Merskalo
