Mravalzhamieri (Georgian: მრავალჟამიერი) is a Georgian folk song, the title and the one-word text of which can be translated as "[may you live] a long life".
It is a popular and widespread toasting song, with dozens of different versions from the countryside of both eastern and western parts of Georgia.
Mravalzhamieri is typically sung in three-voice polyphony, in which two highly improvised melodic parts are developed on the background of a pedal drone in a free metre.
[1] The Mravalzhamieri version from the region of Kakheti, and that known as "urban" (k'alak'uri) were inscribed on the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Georgia list in 2013.
