"The Wind Blows" is a poem by Georgian poet Galaktion Tabidze. It is a sad poem, full of imagery and sentiments, and is well known in Georgia today. The Georgian version uses alliteration, repetition and rhyme, and like all his poems, is almost musical.[1] It was written in 1920.

The poem (translation)

Blowing wind, blowing wind, blowing wind,
In the breeze flying leaves night through...
Rows of trees, troops of trees - roundly bent,
Where are you, where are you, where are you?

How it rains, how it snows, how it snows,
You're the one I can't find anymore!
Pure of yours icon walks by my side
Everyday, every step, every time!

Drizzling sky misty thoughts on the field...
Blowing wind, blowing wind, blowing wind![2]
