The "Song of Tbilisi" also known as "Tbiliso", is a Georgian song and the unofficial anthem of the Georgian capital of Tbilisi. The melody was written by Rezo Lagidze with lyrics by Petre Gruzinsky (later the Russian lyrics were written by Mikhail Kvaliashvili) for a film released in 1959 dedicated to the 1500th anniversary of Tbilisi. The form Tbiliso is the vocative case of Tbilisi, an address to the city. In 1958, the first performers of "Song of Tbilisi" were sisters Nazi and Natella Chapidze, accompanied by a choir and symphony orchestra. The song gained wide popularity in the Georgian SSR. In 1972, the song was recorded by the Georgian VIA "Orera" (lead singer Nani Bregvadze) and released by Melodiya on the disc "Art of the Peoples of the USSR. Music of Georgia." The concert film "Moscow Made Us Friends" was released on the Soviet Central Television, where "Tbiliso" was performed by the ensemble.
