No moles left in Irevan

"No moles left in Irevan" (Azerbaijani: İrəvanda xal qalmadı) is an Azerbaijani folk song. The words and the music of this song were written by famous Azerbaijani mugham singer Jabbar Garyaghdioglu spontaneously in one of the weddings of Erivan.[1] After Garyaghdioglu, whose recordings no longer exist, the song was sung by Khan Shushinski.[2]

The first duet who performed this song were Baba Mahmudoglu and Elmira Mammadova.[2]

In 1960 the song was translated to Russian by Konstantin Simonov and published in an anthology of Azerbaijani poetry in Moscow.[3] This translation was published in Leningrad in 1978.[4]
