lyrics

Once upon a time
When the blood ran like rain
And this city was called
"The city of the Damned"

It had a governor
His name was Georgie Abashvilli
Once upon a time

He was extremely rich
He had a beautiful wife
He had a healthy little baby
And a wonderful life
Once upon a time

No other governor in Grusinia
Had as many horses in his stable
Had as many beggars on his doorstep
As many soldiers in his service
As many petitioners in his courtyard

Once upon a time
