I Thought it Was A Little Far
Oh, my sisters.
April and May
You have come
I felt my heart relax.
I thought winter was coming
Was a bit far…
And let it be so…
How sad will you be?
Be my friend
When you look at me
With love
I thought winter was coming
Was a bit far…
And let it be so…
Translated into English from Georgian by Ketevan Tchoureli
