Jujalarim
The Jujalarim[1] (Azerbaijani: Cücələrim, Russian: Мои цыплята-Джуджалярим - my little chicks) is an Azerbaijani song composed for children. First time it was sang in May 1959 at the Festival of the Decade of Azerbaijani Art in Moscow.[2] Its music was composed by Ganbar Husein in 1949 and the lyrics by Tofig Mutallibov.[3]
It is about a mother chicken who takes good care of her little chicks, making sure that they get enough food and water. The song gained popularity amongst children in the USSR and far beyond its borders. It also appeared in the episode 6, Countryside (1973), of the Nu, pogodi!.[4]
The song was translated into many languages such as Russian, English, German, Japanese, Bulgarian, Polish, Serbo-Croatian and Romanian.
