This recording is our interpretation of a traditional ritual lament song "dalai" from the Tusheti region in Georgia. Originally, the song is performed by a soloist and a choir without any instrumental accompaniment. 

"Dalai" is a Georgian folk poem song.
The name comes from the refrain("dala ჲ...") that is attached to each Tayyip verse. "Dalai" stands in complete isolation in all Georgian folk music - it ends with an alternation of speaking and unison choir, and the horseman (pronouncing "Dalai") begins in a sad tone.
There is an opinion that "Dalai" came to Tusheti from the Vainakhs and Dagestan culture (in Dargvin musical folklore "Dalai" means song).

Keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there - it will always be there. Try to possess it and close your fingers around it - it will spill through the fist cracks it finds. "You see this water carefully contained in my hand? it symbolizes love"

Recorded at Hal5 studio on March 12, 2017

Meil aia-äärne tänavas,
kui armas oli see,
kus kasteheinas põlvini
me lapsed, jooksime.
Kus ehani ma mängisin
küll lille, rohuga,
kust vanataat käekõrval mind
tõi tuppa magama.
Küll üle aia tahtsin siis
ta kombel vaadata:
«Laps, oota!» ütles ta, «see aeg
on kiir küll tulema.»
Aeg tuli. Maa ja mere peal
silm mõnda seletas -
ei pool nii armas polnud seal
kui külatänavas.
