Kirialesa ( კირიალესა ) – Fragility of Patience & Community
Samegrelo region, Georgia
(Traditional)
Eastern European villagers have known for centuries that when times get tough and winters are long, it is time for communities to come together to lift up their voices and spirits through singing. Frequently the theme of village songs with the start of a new year would be to wish good luck and prosperity to friends and neighbors, because they never knew what evil might be lurking around the corner.
Translation:
Enjoy everything, the old and the new.
God bless the past year and the new one.
Prosperity to you and to yours.
May your storehouses be filled with corn.
May the bird of your dreams flap its wings.
May you soon see your loved ones who are far away.
Now, I am going to the mountains,
and will not be back until the next year.
