And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
From the youtube comments, the prayer presented in English-
LYRICS IN ENGLISH: A prayer- A poem written in 1858 by ILIA CHAVCHAVADZE, great Georgian poet and statesman (1837 - 1907)
Our Father, which art in heaven, I’m on my knees, pitying, before Thee! I ask Thee no wealth, no glory, I don’t want to profane with it the Holy Prayer.
I want instead my soul to be enlightened by heaven, And my heart to be lit with love commanded by Thee! And even for my foes that try to pierce my heart with dart I ask Thee: “Forgive them, oh Lord, for they know not what they do” (x 2)
