What the song is about
Inspired by the Mongolian long song (urtyn duu), with long, free-flowing notes. The endless steppe calls her back the way her mother's voice once did.
Mönkh Tal meaning in English
The wind calls me across the faraway steppe. Like my mother's song, it stays in my heart.
My endless steppe, my eternal sky. Wherever I go, I come back to you.
My horse's hooves draw lines in the dust. My ancestors' tracks can still be seen today.

Mönkh Tal lyrics
Мөнх тал – дууны үг
[Verse 1]Алсын тал дээгүүрСалхи намайг дууднаЭэжийн минь дуу шигЗүрхэнд минь үлдэнэ
[Chorus]Мөнх тал минь, ай-я-а-аМөнх тэнгэр минь, ай-я-а-аХаа ч явсан биЧамдаа эргэн ирнэ-э-э
Ммм-ммм-ммм
[Verse 2]Морины минь туурайШороон дээр зурнаӨвгөдийн минь мөрӨнөөдөр ч харагдана
[Chorus]Мөнх тал минь, ай-я-а-аМөнх тэнгэр минь, ай-я-а-аХаа ч явсан биЧамдаа эргэн ирнэ-э-э
Ай-я-а-а-а-а
Мөнх тал минь...
