Georgian song - Berikatsi

Folk song - Berikatsi Berikatsi (Georgian ბერიკაცი ვარ, literally “I am an old man“) -The text of this melodic Kakhetian folk song is very unusual and non-standard for the Georgian way of life. In the text of the song, the old man asks ..... to keep his life. The well-known Georgian custom of respecting and honoring elders is universal in nature. The tradition is rooted in the distant past. The etiquette of respect and veneration for elders follows from the authority of fatherhood, which among Georgians rests on the ancient cult of their ancestors. A Georgian is not free to live in any other way than according to the strictly established canons of Georgian etiquette, if recognition of the people is important to him. A song from the repertoire of the cult Georgian singer Hamlet Gonashvili.
