The Songs of My Mother (Песни моей мамы) is a Russian album by the singer Vitas. It was released in 2003, simultaneously with Mama. Both albums were a tribute to his late mother. Songs from these albums featured heavily in the setlist of Vitas' extensive world tour The Songs of My Mother, performed at hundreds of venues in several countries from 2004-2006.

Contents

While Mama included several new songs written by Vitas, Songs of My Mother consists entirely of cover versions of popular older songs, described as "the gold reserves of Russian pop music", including the 1980 song, The Bird of Happiness, composed by Aleksandra Pakhmutova and Nikolai Dobronravov (from Yuri Ozerov's 1981 film O Sport, You - the world!), previously recorded by the vocal – instrumental ensemble Zdravstvuy, Pesnya, among others. The song The Bird of Happiness became from 1981 on forward the most successful in both Russia and China. The song Chrysanthemms Have Faded was previously included on Vitas' Smile! album. All the other tracks were newly recorded for Songs of My Mother.

Vitas performed a piano-backed arrangement of Winter on a Russian New Year TV show in 2002.
