Rustavi - Tsintskaro

[TSOAS2008]

is it part of an album?

[henkpaardevet]

Thanx Kate, Rustavi, the one who posted this & the writer of this master piece.

Are the official lyrics just the 5 or 6 lines posted before in this thread, or is there more?

Cheers

[noradosmith]

anyone else get here from kate bush's "Hello Earth"?

[kitanimboy]

@noradosmith Yes me :) .... I always wondered what she'd used so I took the time to look it up, beautiful isn't it...

[JustAnotherPunk]

@noradosmith

Recognised it when Kate used it, but first heard it in Nosferatu

Awesome tho'. I really need to get around to exploring Eastern European music more ...

[henkpaardevet]

@noradosmith Yep. Rediscovered Hounds of Love & via Nosferatu ended up here. And what a sheer pleasure it is. Hauntingly beautiful.

[esson123]

music used to be used for healing. now it's just used to hurt your neighbor's ears when it's coming out of your ghettoblaster car stereo. people have lost the knowledge of this art of healing.

[quadralerium]

So unbelievably tender, haunting. Was used in Nosferatu to a very dreamlike sequence.

[forerunner06]

@quadralerium yep, that scene is some fine artwork.Very haunting and ethereal

[Sunduc]

Where can I buy this album? Is there any identification I can make use of to track it?

[fireworksfever]

This chant, believe it or not , was on a Miami Vice episode, titled Bushido.

[RQQQP]

My pleasure Keith... Georgian polyphonic music is like nothing else in the world - just powerful and profound music... it can move your soul!

[pang5]

@RQQQP Agreed. It brings me to my knees and lifts me up again. Music everyone should know.

[vstasov]

Absolutely beautiful.  Thank you.

[satanel77]

Wonderful !

Captivated by these voices, for ever and ever and ever ...

[The80sTV]

The chorus in "Hello Earth" by Kate Bush is a segment from this song.

[Kievest]

Hauntingly beautiful, evocative and

enchanting music. Thank you for

posting this magical piece!

[thatkeith]

Almost disturbingly gorgeous

[RQQQP]

For what it's worth... The Georgian words (phonetically using western alphabet):

1. (solo) tsintsqaro chamoviare tsintsqaro

(tutti) bicho da tsintsqaro chamoviare

2. (solo) tsin shemkhvda kali lamazi tsin shemkhvda

(tutti) bicho da koka rom edga mkharze da

3. (solo) sitqva utkhar da itsqina sitqva utkhari

(tutti) bicho da ganriskhda gadga ganze da

4. (solo) tsintsqaro chamoviare tsintsqaro

(tutti) bicho da tsintsqaro chamoviare

[keithdeweese]

@RQQQP Thank you for the words.

[AmdanAbla99]

@RQQQP Can you please translate the lyrics.I`m dying to know what it tells about.Thank you !

[RQQQP]

@AmdanAbla99 - see my post five below this one... I have written the English translation that I was given.... "I was passing by a spring..... there I met a beautiful woman with a jug on her shoulder....I spoke a word to her and she left, offended.... I was passing by a spring...."

[AmdanAbla99]

@RQQQP

:0) Thank you !

[baruffacp]

MOLTO BELLA......

[pixiepurv]

First heard a section of this in the kate bush song hello earth and then again in Nosferatu but never knew what it was called. Thank you for posting, It's a beautiful piece.

I first heard this on the soundtrack of 'Nosferatu' and was captivated by it.

It is quite exquisite.

[jonahbegone]

I did too - and spent years trying to figure out what it was. Isn't it gorgeous harmonizing? Not at all like mainstream Western music.

"Tzinskaro" means "By the brook." That's all I know. It's a folk song. I wrote the Georgian Embassy in D.C., once, for a translation but they never sent one.

[RQQQP]

I sang in a Georgian polyphonic chorus in Georgia for a number of years.  This was one of everyone's favorites - it is just so gorgeous! Here is the translation I was given of the words...

I was passing by the spring.

There I met a beautiful woman with a jug on her shoulder.

I spoke a word to her and she left, offended.

I was passing by the spring.

[pang5]

Such an elegiac melody for an almost love song.

This is one of those songs that can break me and then raise me up.

What true divinity should do.

[jonahbegone]

Like a Georgian Girl from Ipanema!
