Traditional work song from Guria, western Georgia

Translation: Men let's go Elesa, let's take the log out, come on boys, lift it up Elesa.

Elesa is short for the Greek eleison, meaning Lord have mercy on us. Some Greek words became integrated with West Georgian dialects due to Greek influence during the Byzantine times.

Krimanchuli (yodelers): Holly C., Lyla
