NATALIE AVERY
SHE'S NATALIE AVERY
SHE'S VERY, VERY, VERY
EXTRAORDINARY,
REVOLUTIONARY!
SHE'S NOT A VIRGIN MARY,
SHE'S NOT A SINFUL CHERRY,
SHE'S JUST AN EMISSARY
FROM THE ABUNDANT FERRY!
SHE'S NATALIE AVERY,
VERY, VERY, VERY
JOYFUL EMISSARY,
FROM THIS ABUNDANT FERRY.
SHE'S VERY, VERY CARING,
SHE'S VERY, VERY MERRY,
AND WHEN SHE TALKS TO PERRY,
SHE'S NEVER, EVER SWEARING.
SHE'S NATALIE AVERY,
SHE'S VERY, VERY, SHARING
AND COMPLETELY CARING
AND WORTH OF LOT OF STARING!
SHE'S NATALIE AVERY
WHO'S VERY, VERY SHARING
AND WORTH OF LOT OF STARING,
NO MATTER WHAT SHE'S WEARING!
SHE'S NATALIE AVERY,
SHE'S VERY, VERY, VERY
EXTRAORDINARY,
EXTRAORDINARY, REVOLUTIONARY!
Land of Flowers for You
yvavilebis Kqveyana,
CoqviT Semoviare,
rom miTxari movalo, Wirime,
ratom daigviane!
I was on my knees, baby,
Going through the land of flowers,
And I was thinking, maybe,
You could love me at this hour!
So, I would give you bunch of flowers
And this world will be ours,
And misery will be so far,
And we could watch so many stars!
SenTvis dakrefili maqvs,
narnari yvavilebi,
minda gulze dagakra, Wirime,
viT narnariGRilebi!
I have got the world of flowers,
And I would give you flower showers,
Just don't watch this MTV,
And stop writing my CV.
You know, I'm not good in office,
I can't take too many trophies,
I am good in loving you,
And bringing flowers to your youth!
ai ratom dageZeb,
ratom daviarebi,
da ratom melandeba, Wirime,
Seni Savi Tvalebi!
I don't want to go to school,
And in your eyes I am a fool,
But I will drink your beauty soon,
And I will fly up to the moon!
No consumerist desire,
Just inspire me, inspire,
Bring me, bring me lot of fire,
I will never get too tired!
Don't let me suffer for too long
My love for you is madly strong!
Without you, this world is wrong,
And I can't finish my last song!
You are my only hopeful shore,
And your eyes that I adore,
And I can say that I did more,
Than just wonder and explore!
My Denomination
(a collaboration with Gogi Dzidzuashvili and Salome Korkota)
You ask me where I belong,
The answer won't take too long,
You have to be quite strong,
To go all the way along.
So I belong to:
Non-domination denomination,
Denomination of non-domination!
Nobody tells you what you should do,
Nobody tells you when to change shoe,
Nobody tells you what should be true,
Nobody tells you, you should be cruel!
So we belong to:
Non-domination denomination,
Denomination of non-domination!
You have to make sure, I'm not above you;
I have to make sure you're not above me:
So both of us can see, all of us can see,
We are one beautiful, wonderful tree.
So we belong to:
Non-domination denomination,
Denomination of non-domination!
And this is my nation,
Of non-domination,
Of happy carnations,
And joyful flirtation!
So, non-domination
With contamination,
No exploitation,
And no more frustration!
So we belong to:
Non-domination denomination,
Denomination of non-domination!
