I am hoping someone here can help me out.
I recently started listening to a fantastic band from Mongolia called Hanggai and I really love their music.
One song they play called "The Drinking Song" has such a great energy to it that makes me really want to sing along but I don't speak or read Mongolian and I can't find the original words anywhere, just the English translation. And I can't hear or understand the words well enough to write them down.
If anyone here knows this song and could write out the Mongolian lyrics in English characters so I can sing along I will promise to dance at your wedding!!!
Here is a youtube video of Hanggai singing The Drinking Song.
youtube: Hanggai "The Drinking Song"
And here is the English translation:
I present a whole bottle of
Pure and mellow wine,
I pour a cup full for Your Royal Highness,
Strong and fragrant wine.
Let our song never end,
Let our fortunes never decline,
A cup for ever in our hands,
A song for ever in our throats.
Close families cannot be without
Warm and mellow wine,
Fill all the cups and make a toast,
Strong and fragrant wine.
Thank you so much in advance for any help!!!
