Dzveli Tbilisi isev migonebs,
Nislivit chndeba dardi,
Ert dros pirveli mefaetone
Quchashi pekhit dadis,
Dzneli kopila turme sibere,
Gulo gaudzel tkivils,
Tsvima mosula, arvis egonos
Gakidul arghans vtiri.
Fanjarashi mtredia, netav visi bedia
Ar momiklat genatsvat, chemi sakvarelia.
Mzeze vtbebi da khchirad vikhseneb,
Raghats mindoda metqva,
Vikhseneb, magram ver gavikhsene,
Ratom movedi tqvenTan.
Arts faetoni, agharts tskhenebi,
Ratom arapers metkvit,
Sad mimaqrolebs cheneb-chenebit
TsuTisopelis etli.
Fanzharashi mtredia, netav visi bedia
Ar momiklat genatsvat, chemi sikvarelia.
Mivdivar, dzneli kopila tsasvla,
Mshvidad vistumreb valebs,
Ukanasneli simgheris natsvlad
Ukanasknelad davlev.
Mivdivar mimaqvs chemsavit dzveli
Dardis gudura grili,
Ukanaskneli mefaitone
Emshvidobeba Tbiliss.
Fanjarashi mtredia, netav visi bedia,
Ar momikla genatsvat chemis sakvarelia.

Mapaitone

My Old Tbilisi, I miss you,
I long for your narrow streets,
For the first time I met you
When you gave us shelter,
You sent my family to distant Siberia,
Seizing our beautiful house,
You planted flowers, planted thorns
And surrounded us with hard fences.
You promised mountains of gold, but you deceived me
And together with the enemies, you ruined my homeland.
I was intoxicated by your beauty and fell in love with you,
I believed your promises,
I believed, but when I saw you through,
I lost my desire for you.
You have changed your face, you have changed your appearance,
You have betrayed our trust,
You have repented of your mistakes
And you are trying to please us.
You promised mountains of gold, but you deceived me
And together with the enemies, you ruined my homeland.
I forgive you, my old town, for everything,
Perhaps you were forced to do this,
Your true face was hidden from us
And we were deceived by you.
I forgive you because you are my old
Painful yet beloved homeland,
Your true face has been revealed
And Tbilisi has become dearer to me.
You promised mountains of gold, but you deceived me
And together with the enemies, you ruined my homeland.
