The song uses elements of Georgian folk music. 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.
Lyrics:
ვეზირმა მომახსენა რომ ბატონი სარმანიშვილი მოადგა ჩემ ციხეს დღეს და ითხოვს უკან ცხენებს
მოინდომა!
მან წააგო 50 ცხენი ჩემთან ნიძლავში
ახლა მიყუროს მე! როგორ ვჯირითაობ დღეს!
გშურდეს გშურდეს! გშურდეს გშურდეს!
ოჰ!
ერეკლეს არ ეცალა... მას თბილისის დაცვა სურს
ავდექი და მივედი, ერეკლე მეორესთან... მან მთხრა არ მცალია ახლა მე თვითონ წაგართმევ მაგ ცხენებსო
წადი მეფე სოლომნთან იქ გაარკვიე საქმე... სოლომონმაც მითხრა ეხლა მე წაგართმევ მაგას თუ არ მოხვალ აზრზე
მე გავბრაზდი და ხმამაღლა ვთქი რომ
არ გამოუვა არ გამოუვა! არ გამოუვა არ გამოუვა! არ გამოუვა არ გამოუვა! არა! შანსი არ არის! არა! შანსი არ არის!
არ გამოუვა! არ გამოუვა! აჰ!
აჰ! ეჰ!
The Baron announced that today lord Sarmanishvili came to my citadel
and he desired the horses back!
But he lost bet - 50 horses and what does he want?!
Now watch me how I am riding!
Envy envy! Envy envy!
Oh! Erekle was busy... he wants to defend Tbilisi,
I got up and went to Erekle II ... he told me - he is busy and
get out now or I will take your horses!
Go and see King Solomon and there solve your problems… ‘
Solomon also told me: now I will take you horses away if you not stop acting like stupid
I got angry and said loudly
they Will not succeed! will not succeed! Will not succeed! will not succeed! Will not succeed! will not succeed!
No! No chance!
No! No chance!
They Will not succeed! will not succeed!
Ah!
