This was the first song I found on the internet, when I was searching for traditional music. It was 1999, when my family just got a dial modem and music files took days to transfer. It was my first search and the music title got my attention. I was 13 years old. Suffice to say, I was so fascinated, so struck by the deepness of those sounds, that I'm still listening, still taken aback...
Да/Так. Согласен. Уважаю и люблю музыку Этих музыкантов, людей. Я тоже Украинец(слобожанец) и хоть музыка наша очень отлечается, но как-то почеловечески, духовно лично меня песня с душой такой пронизает, я понимаю...
melomotoman: Есть время понимать, любить, радоваться и страдать, это всё мощные чувства и эта песня передают прекрасно одно из них. Класс и это я говорю спустя год как услышал её здесь.
another north american here. this music, the land, matched, and existing. no matter what culture you claim - this music can open your heart, if you only open your ears, sit still, and listen.
Traditional folk music shares a common thread all over the world. Music from the Australian outback, the steppes of Siberia, the Mississippi delta all sing about common experiences in the human condition and beneath the instrumental and stylistic differences lie ultimately the same music. It's so obvious what time and place popular music in the west comes from, and too often this music becomes dated and irrelevant with the passage of time. Music like this always stays timeless.
Amazing. I saw Huun Huur Tu live in toronto at the Mod club, either 1 or 2 years ago. Then just this year, I had the honour of playing on the same stage as them... I still felt their lingering essence... :P
i dont know what it is, but, the tuvans and mongols have so much knowledge encoded into their songs. After you listen you feel changed, and thankful..... and such good looking people, such character and dignity..
ORPHANS LAMENT! I found this song long ago.. Listened to it alot. Lost my ipod.. 3 years later. I find myself back in mountains. I find this song on a website. Beautiful.
there is no way to describe the intense emotional beauty of being in a small room with these men when they perform. the instrumentals and the throat vocals vibrate right through your bones, and the emotion is indescribable. when i saw them at McCabe's in L.A., i couldn't help but weep when they played this. God, i wish they'd come back. Often.
I keep coming back and listening to this song because it's so beautiful. When I hear it, it's like I can see Mongolia... the mountains, the countryside. It's like I can feel the chilly bite of the wind. I really hope that someday I'm lucky enough to hear this music in person.
song's an all time classic. the clip reminds me of my summer in tuva. Kyzyl, chadaana, erzin, shagonar, khandagaity, all places that make you feel at the same time more mature and pure. my heart's a tuvan steppe. thanks for uploading this.
This video and music so matches the melancholy of the scenes that it is amazing. I can almost feel the wind blowing across the plains and experience the simplicity of life. How wonderful!
im an orphan im alone Pity I didnt die as a baby If I had died as a baby I never would have suffered I am the loneliest Pity I didnt die in my cradle If I had died in my cradle I wouldn't have suffered Pity the baby birds Left without a nest Pity a baby Left without a mother Ones fate One cannot change it My departed mother Nothing can bring her back
It's beautiful. I think if one agrees with me then one is ought to be sensitive to cultures, have deep respect for most cultures and all peoples of the world. Only 40,00 people see this, but if North Americans saw this it would broaden their horizons in an amazing way. Beautiful emotional song. With Peace from Ukrainian guy.
Nice to hear an opinion from a North American:). You know I was tyring not to generalise, it is the easiest thing to do. I a naturalised Australian myself. I really think that it is not very hard to change a situation where many adult US citizens are little aware of the world cultures. Certainly immigrants are a big part of US but it's different. US has some of the best unis and academic organisations that contribute to all of the world in educating people about anything. Cheers.
I started listening to HHT just recently and i'm in love with their music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know they gave a few concerts in Vancouver, Canada years ago. Now I wonder if they are planning to come to Canada again?
check out the band's web site - there are three songs from a new album Eternal streaming there. It's the album of collaboration with Carment Rizzo, electronic musician from Los Angeles
this song really kills my brain! its to hard to listen to, i never heard such a sad music than that... its so real, i can feel the pain behind his singing.. are there more songs like that?
@unzicek I also live in a country like yours... but i dont consider our situation as a "poor but free life", i think we all live like birds in golden cages, wood cages, rusty cages, etc... :D
The Orphan's Lament Two little children, a boy and a girl Sat down by the old church door The little girl's cheek was as brown as the curl That fell on the dress that she wore The little boy's coat was all ragged and torn A tear shone in each little eye Why don't you go home to your mama, they said And this was the maiden's reply Mama's in heaven, angels took her away Left Jim and I all alone And Papa got lost on the sea long ago We have no mama nor home
The Asian heritage of Hungarian music is much studied (ie. by Bartok, Kodaly, Varygas). There are many similar melodies between Hungarians, Mari, Chuvash, Tatars, etc. Between Tuvan music and Hungarian music not so much but both are using pentatonic scales. Hungarian music is more similar to Mongolian music than to Tuvan music.
(English) I'm an orphan; I'm alone. Pity I didn't die as a baby. If I had died as a baby, I never would have suffered. I am the loneliest. Pity I didn't die in my cradle.

We can't earn our bread, we're too little, she said Jim's five and I'm only seven We've no one to love us since Papa's away And darling Mama's in heaven The sexton came early to ring the church bell And found them beneath the snow white The angels made room for two orphans to dwell In heaven with their mama that night From the singing of Jean Ritchie, if you'd believe it.

@sueiguanaskin You must write to the National Council to get a performance? Man, poor Singaporeans living under the authoritarian regime, shepherds and their sheep.
Some comments below have totally disgust me:"I take weed/acid/medicine and get high along with this song." It's an orphan's lament. How can you people use it for stoning? Do you want to get high when someone in front of you is lamenting for the lost of parents? Do you even have a heart? I hate generalizing Westerners; but this weed thing is a disgrace of your culture and a great insult to Tuvan maestros.
America walked with them, Westward out of the East. Great thongs of leather led out from the bits in their mouth, and their eyes were circled with rings of exhaustion and shielded by black leather blinders. Why didn't they ever look behind them? Did they ever wonder why they were so weary and mean? They were all pulling the East with them. - "Was" G. Ryman
Thanks for the reply, I thought I'm alone on this issue; but somehow I feel we cannot simply ignore them. Drug users do not simply exist in lower class. They are one of many detects of W.E.I.R.D. lifestyle, which is invading these nomadic countries. Though people have the right to choose how should they live, I'm afraid that W.E.I.R.D. culture will twist and raze them to ashes, just like the song "Kongurei" depicted ,"Where is my beautiful horse herds gone?"

Beautiful.

This is so sad and beautiful.
Great song. I listened to it twice. Having lost my mother recently, it was easy for me to relate to.
I keep coming back and listening to this song because it's so beautiful. When I hear it, it's like I can see Mongolia... the mountains, the countryside. It's like I can feel the chilly bite of the wind. I really hope that someday I'm lucky enough to hear this music in person.
there is such a deepness in the expression of human feelings. It is does come straight from the center of the beeing, no mind games...
This is one of their best songs, you can feel the pain and sorrow that is portraied in this song. T-T
oh my god i got a headache from the heaviness of my crying..this song speaks so much to me ;(
Once more I am struck by how beautiful this is... :)
I've never heard so much emotion in a song before.
Saw you guys two times. Once in Bethlehem PA and just recently in NYC with Hazmat Modine. You guys are the best!!!
song's an all time classic.
the clip reminds me of my summer in tuva. Kyzyl, chadaana, erzin, shagonar, khandagaity, all places that make you feel at the same time more mature and pure. my heart's a tuvan steppe. thanks for uploading this.
Brings tears to my eyes. Thank you very much !

well spoken..
this music is truly inspiring. it runs deep
This video and music so matches the melancholy of the scenes that it is amazing. I can almost feel the wind blowing across the plains and experience the simplicity of life. How wonderful!
Extraordinaire!!!!! Splendeur absolue!!!!!
excellent!Greetings from Japan!
My heart aches when I hear this song because I to am an orphan and I will never see my mother again.
It is not just sadness. It is consolation. You can find these in every Huun Huur Tu song. Listen.
im an orphan im alone
Pity I didnt die as a baby
If I had died as a baby
I never would have suffered
I am the loneliest
Pity I didnt die in my cradle
If I had died in my cradle
I wouldn't have suffered
Pity the baby birds
Left without a nest
Pity a baby
Left without a mother
Ones fate
One cannot change it
My departed mother
Nothing can bring her back
brings tears to the eyes
This is a favorite song of mine. Great video!
leaves me in tears
Lament opened my eyes...
one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard :)
primitive feelings... universal sounds... ancient music.... we all feel the same... we all are one....
One of my favourite CD's, thank you for putting it here!
It's beautiful. I think if one agrees with me then one is ought to be sensitive to cultures, have deep respect for most cultures and all peoples of the world.

The Orphan's Lament
Two little children, a boy and a girl
Sat down by the old church door
The little girl's cheek was as brown as the curl
That fell on the dress that she wore
The little boy's coat was all ragged and torn
A tear shone in each little eye
Why don't you go home to your mama, they said
And this was the maiden's reply
Mama's in heaven, angels took her away
Left Jim and I all alone
And Papa got lost on the sea long ago
We have no mama nor home
@UpcomingJedi i've known it as a "fly fly my sadness"

Pity I didn't die in my cradle.
If I had died in my cradle,

Pity the baby birds,
Left without a nest.
Pity a baby,
Left without a mother.One's fate,
One cannot change it.
My departed mother,
Nothing can bring her back

success.
We can't earn our bread, we're too little, she said
Jim's five and I'm only seven
We've no one to love us since Papa's away
And darling Mama's in heaven
The sexton came early to ring the church bell
And found them beneath the snow white
The angels made room for two orphans to dwell
In heaven with their mama that night
From the singing of Jean Ritchie, if you'd believe it. JN
