Back vocals main theme are from the Megrelian folk song "Jansulo", as well as various solo guitar parts, with the rhythmic outline of the American blues. An old electric guitar, ETERNA DE LUXE 25 is heard in the recording. The clip shot in Okrokana which is one of settlements near Tbilisi. The song is a mystification of history, about the tense situation in the Kingdom of Georgia, eighteenth-century and kingdoms of western and eastern Georgia, where rich but silly Lord Sarmanishvili from Borjomi loses bet with popular Lord from Tashiskari and he has to give his 50 horses to a young headstrong lord which is one of the most famous shooter in the kingdom. Lord Sarmanishvili angrily starts fighting for the return of 50 horses. Young lord from Tashiskari decides to ask help from the kings of western and eastern Georgia. At first, Young Lord approaches the King of Eastern Georgia, Erekle II, he wants to defend his 50 horses. Erekle II has defensive wars to defend the capital from the enemy. Thus, Erekle II refuses to hold a court and sends him to the King of Western Georgia. Nor King Solomon II stays happy from the young Lord's visit and threatens to confiscate his horses. The young Lord says "they will not succeed" and locks himself with his small group of soldiers in the palace, where he waits for the attack of Sarmanishvili's people.
