  "Woman, Marikela Jashi! You are so beautiful! I will gather rose and violet for you, my Marta tsitsunia.
  If you were not in this world, I would not be born. Girl, dressed in red, when you go and get married, what will I do?
  Now I need your comfort. Smile and make me glad! Marikela Jashi, woman! You are so beautiful!"  less
