Hibla Gerzmava, a Abkhazian-Russian operatic soprano, posted a video to the song "Grey-Eyed King" on her YouTube page.
The song has very deep roots in Russian culture of the first half of the 20th century.
The lyrics were composed by Anna Akhmatova, Russia’s most renowned female poet in 1910 and the music was written by the famous Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev six years later.
There are numerous translations of the “Grey-Eyed King” into English.
