I'm a Mongolian living abroad. Listening to this makes me want to go back and ride a horse through great steppes.

[bruceberry]

I'm a history teacher, it is so cool to see a tradition like this still very much alive.

[wesolutions]

This is how you take tradition and modern and you do not lose the beauty in the tradition.

The dude is playing the flute alongside singing. My god they’re amazing.

[ArmyBikerVet]

I have a 3 year old daughter that loves their music
As a 55 year old who grew up with music from the 70s and 80s I absolutely love this music

[ringodaisy]

Their ancestors must be very proud. I love this so much.

The LYRIC says Live always remembering your father's parable and heart and live always remembering your mother's generosity and love. They are our SOUL and PRIDE. . . Live always being friendship with warm hearted people and Live always standing up front of any suffering and caring others. They are our prosperity and humanity!!!

[ahmedbenhadjlarbi]

What I find the most incredible about this band, is the consistency of their performances. I have watched dozens of their songs live, and they systematically deliver outstanding quality !

Lyrics in English:
Water your red horse with piebald mane without the gag-bit
Please, remember the kindness of your old and grey father
Ride on the slope of the blue fold mountains
Please, remember the compassion of your old and caring mother
Shireg shireg
Shireg shireg
Take care of your loyal steed when you travel in foreign lands
Make friends with good people who you ride in the horde
Feed your bow and arrow with the wind
Abide by your moon sword as you sleep
Have the intuition to see the evil
Have the strength to endure barriers
Shireg shireg
Shireg shireg
We kiss your right cheek as we say farewell
We'll kiss the left one when you return
Farewell, your elderly father and mother will be waiting for you at home
Shireg shireg
Shireg Shireg
On the acoustical version of this song, commenter Gerelt-Od Gotsbayar says this about the word:
"Shireg (ᠰᠢᠷᠢᠭᠢ) is kind of "magical" word used during ritual we Mongolians do when baby child get afraid of something. When babies afraid of something and can't tell their parents, only fathers allowed do this "ritual", for find culprit and "kill" it, for make sure it's no longer threat for them. There are some variations, sometimes, they throw salt into fire. But mostly they use candle (In ancient times, when there was no candle, they used copper). Fathers melt candle into candle oil (or it called wax?) on furnace. While mother or someone holding baby, father put oil into spoon or something, and circle it clockwise, 3 times over their baby, tells "shireg shireg", along with other blessing words like in this song. Then they pour candle oil into cup of water, and I don't know how it works, but figure/shape of culprit (things which made baby afraid) appears exactly on water made by oil itself. Human beings, animals, stuffed toys, lego, furnitures, shadow, or even cloud, it can be any thing. Fathers show it to babies and tell them, he throwing it away, do not afraid any more. Then he breaks shape in front of babies eye, then throws it away. Wonderfully it works and baby sleep well."
Sorry this is long but it's very interesting to me. I thought others might find it interesting too.
