My Life

Georgian version here

My Life

My life is the purest color of wine,
It shall shine until it dries.
With it I’ve earned a poet’s glory,
worth everything — even mere immortality.
Once more, the ashen days follow en masse,
I will never tire of raising my glass
to you, whose passion… is nothing but ardor.
Myself, I fear neither the past nor the future.
