lyrics
საქანელა - Saqanela
ცდილობს ცდილობს ეს რომ თქვას
მაგრამ არავინ არ უსმენს
ცდილობს ცდილობს ეს რომ თქვას
მაგრამ არავინ არ უსმენს
ბევრი ამბობს
რომ მას ჯერა
მას აქვს რწმენა
საქანელა
საქანელა დატრიალდა
ბევრი ბევრის ამის ჯერა
მალე მხოლოდ ის დარჩება
განახლებას ვინც გაუძლებს
არ გაწყვიტავს კავშირს ძველთან
და იპოვის ახალ სიტყვას
ხალხი ამას ვერ გაუძლებს თუ გაყვება ბნელის აზრებს და იქ იპოვის სახლებს
მე კიდევ ვთქვი რომ ეს მე არ მომწნოს
თან ძალიან
ცდილობს ცდილობს ეს რომ თქვას
მაგრამ არავინ არ უსმენს
ცდილობს ცდილობს ეს რომ თქვას
მაგრამ არავინ არ უსმენს
მჰმ მჰმ მჰმ
მჰმ მჰმ მჰმ
მჰმ... ... ...
Saqanela – Swing
He is Trying Trying to say that
But no one listens to him
he is Trying Trying to say that
But no one listens to him
Many say
That they believe
they have faith
about swing
The swing turned
and many many believe this
Soon only he will remain
who will endure a renovation
don't cut the connection with old
And will find a new word
that will Survive will survive
Soon only he will remain
who will endure a renovation
don't cut the connection with old
And will find a new word
People will not be able to stand it if they follow the thoughts of darkness and find Houses there
Houses
And I said that this
I do not like it
very much
he is Trying Trying to say that
But no one listens to him
he is Trying Trying to say that
But no one listens to him
Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm
Hmmm ... ... ...
