At Akaki's request, his niece Varinka Tsereteli composed a melody for the poem in the same year. \u201cSuliko\u201d is a Georgian word meaning \u201csoul\u201d. It is also a first name for both women and men.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">The song is actually a love story where someone is searching for the grave of his beloved Suliko. During the search, a lone rose is asked the question \u201cIs it you Suliko?\u201d In response, the flower bows and a few dewdrops fall like tears. A nightingale is also asked \u201cIs it you Suliko?\u201d As the bird starts singing, it seems to confirm the question. Finally, the question is also put to a shining star, whereupon the star drops its light on the seeker and a gust of wind whispers in the seeker's ear that the star is the one being sought. The message of the song is that the lost loved one lives on in the beauty of nature, in the blooming of roses, in the singing of the nightingale and in the light of the stars.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><em>Why is the song so loved and well known in Georgia?<\/em><\/summary>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">Count Akaki Tsereteli was a prominent and beloved poet in Georgia.
