Beautiful Georgian folk song

YT:
Georgian Folk Song Tu Ase Turpa Ikhavi performed by late famous Georgian Folk singer Hamlet Gonashvili. This rare recording comes from Georgian TV-1.

Music geek note:
I found this song while searching for "microtonality" on youtube. Georgian folk music uses scales which are divided up differently than the western major and minor scales. This gives it a kind of different quality.

One side of the family came from a mix of Hungary and northern Turkey (Laz) area. Both my aunt and uncle were musicians and singers, my cousin continued the tradition. As a small child I remember my uncle paying a similar instrument singing folk songs that had a very similar sound to them. A great find. Though I don't understand that language, it would be nice to have a translation. Even if rough. Anyone?
