Imagine Leonardo DiCaprio as Romeo, his face twisted in youthful anguish, whispering, "But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?" Now imagine that simultaneously, a deep, gravelly, utterly calm Georgian male voice says: "Magram nela, es ra sinatlea fanjaridan modis?"
Shakespeare’s lofty Elizabethan English was converted into raw, often profane, Tbilisian street slang. The famous "What light through yonder window breaks?" becomes a pragmatic observation. The passionate declarations of love are often shortened to colloquial Georgian phrases that sound more like a man ordering a khachapuri than professing eternal love.
"Romeo ar unda modkdes, magram rom dubls mousmen, itiriteba." (Romeo shouldn't die, but if you listen to the dub, he deserves it.)
