Mongolian songs with English lyrics
Every song on UYANA's debut album, with the Mongolian lyrics, Latin letters and an English translation.
Quick answer
UYANA's debut album has 12 songs sung in Mongolian. Each song has its own page with the lyrics in Mongolian, the same words in Latin letters so you can sing along, and an English translation of what each part means. Serelt's lyrics are coming soon.
How to read Mongolian lyrics
Mongolian is written in Cyrillic letters, the same alphabet as Russian, plus two extra letters: Ө and Ү. The traditional vertical Mongolian script is also still taught and used.
That is why every UYANA song page also shows the words in Latin letters, so you can sing along without learning a new alphabet.
