This song made me cry. bringing my childhood memories of me my brothers and our friends playing, hunting and foraging in the forest around our village. Too bad the forest we use to know where long gone, so now no cricket at night let alone hearing the magnificent owl. And the river we use to swim and fish have been dead since a decade ago. In Philippines we have a lot poetic and prophetic song about the tragic future of our nature but no body listened.

There is a great book out now with free CD and DVD kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIeQqKqQfKiAo68

[@internet_internet]

The creeks/streams & woods/forests that I grew up exploring in were also destroyed to construction. I feel this pain.

[@wegfarir1963]

Those songs are prophetic after all. Do not worry though, all will heal in the end and an ever-green earth will rise.

[@j.michaelimpson4157]

This song moved me to tears as well. Very powerful. 🥲

[@harlequinvoyage2875]

The temperate rainforest I grew up in has been sold to developers who are hacking it up into subdivisions. There is no way to express the full extent of the pain I feel over it. My body is incapable of letting the true immensity of the feelings come through. I feel you, and I listen to this song over and over again for similar reasons. May nature overcome the fools who believe she has no spirit and is theirs for the taking.

[@biggiemalle1272]

- Conan, what is best in life?! - listening to huun huur tu on KZbin, watchin the night Sky, and smoking a cig after a hard day of work.

[@Pierrick13004]

When I listen to this song I want to sell all my possessions, leave our dying society, and move to the depths of the taiga.

[@user-et3tj7mg7y]

Didnt understand the words,but felt deeply the music and the emotions from these enlightened and spiritually uplifted artists !

[@asianshoegaze2342]

Pardon me while I ascend to heaven

[@Ewinim]

Bu adamlara denk gelip şuanda bu videoda olduğum için çok şanslı hissediyorum. Sonsuz minnettarlık ve saygılarımı sunuyorum sevgili HHT.

[@Rider-Solo]

Unable to understand even a single word, but its an excellent piece of music. Lots of love from Pakistan

[@stevenconroy6786]

Mother Taiga is my home I smell the sedge and the grass The rocky taiga is my home I smell the junipers and the grass Come, riding on your reindeer stag The shot roan doe tied to the saddle Come on then, riding your reindeer The feet of the maral doe tied to the saddle lyricstranslate.com

[@ibeam23]

I've seen HHT perform many times. About 14 years ago, I was hanging out with them in a friend's apartment after a NYC gig. I said to Kaigal-ool, "When you did Odugen Taiga tonight, it made me cry it was so beautiful." He smiled. "Me too, but from my heart."" You can read all about this and my three trips to Tuva in My Adventures in Tuva."

[@EddiePirolli]

I backpacked quiet extensively throughout Central Asia ending in Mongolia and this brings me back to that blissful moments, sleeping in Yurts, drinking salted butter tea, eating horse meat. The people of the Central Asia nations are just amazing!!!!

[@musiclibrary3566]

Eddie Pirolli you ate the people then?

[@hqbattery]

hahaha i read that too

[@madquiver2]

the power of grammer! grammer was a tough old bird!

[@aleksar6755]

@music Library They are amazing :D

[@DxD93]

Eating people okay...

[@y.k.5502]

What a beautiful song... Feel like I can touch the wind, smell fresh green grass and see some horses running far away. It's like soaking into the nature.

[@vijnmusic4707]

Tuva, Tatarstan, Khakassia, Buryatia, Yakutia, Altai, Nogai, Kazakhstan, Mongolia. Some of my favorite people!

[@nicolasgoldring7128]

Every time I listen to this song, I feel as if I've been transported to a majestic, pristine land. In this land, I am surrounded by vast open steppe, peaceful forests, crystal-clear lakes and rivers and majestic mountains. Here, I lie underneath an enormous cerulean blue sky, whilst feeling the frigid, Northerly Siberian breeze.

[@PageIsYourGod]

Random encounter: A hostile tribe of tartars crests over the horizon, what do you do?

[@abdulazizalbegami5594]

What a beautiful song full of deep emotions it’s by far the most amazing song I have ever listened to in my life. Every time I start listening to it it takes me to another dimension and some times my eyes tear not sadness but with joy and appreciation of life god bless Huur Huun Tu

[@trang-thihanguyen6827]

I found myself experiencing the same as you did whenever I listened to this song

[@RobKandell]

My only criticism of your statement is I like “Orphan’s Lament” better. These guys are truly amazing. I am a trained musician and I have no idea how to think about this. I guess I’ll just sit back and enjoy it.

[@stephaniesmith7317]

@Abdulaziz Albegami YES Everything you just said. TY

[@merrittorius]

Everyone is kind, people care about you, the earth is in good shape, good will overcome, love will win.

[@henkjanssen1252]

Wikipedia says that "The taiga is the world's largest biome apart from the oceans"... it is giving us a lot of oxygen to breathe. Without it, we are nothing. So we can truly speak of Mother Taiga!

[@Rugged-Mongol]

www.etymonline.com/search?q=taiga The Taiga is of general mongol etymology, so it's our responsibility to protect it.

[@oghuzkagan1236]

Greetings from Türkiye my Turk brothers. We love you so much. Thanks to you, the Turkishness in our blood comes alive. 🤘🐺🇹🇷🇰🇿🇰🇬🇦🇿🇹🇲🇺🇿🐺🤘

[@fabriziomeo1312]

Mongolia and Tuva, pure poetry. Asia in general, is a mignificient divine land, here is the truth.

[@uzaygemisi1716]

And TURKS

[@uzaygemisi1716]

TUVA is Turks

[@vr3116]

i cried

[@kharnakcrux2650]

that's the feeling of being human, and feeling a link to the past

[@kenparker2402]

I am as well

[@scottbuzz1]

Fung Eye I didn’t. I had to use the bathroom is all. I just felt like not explaining why I was suddenly leaving the room. It’s not because I felt like everything was revered by itself and I needn’t fret or feel like not enough. Not at all. Earthlings are magnificent. Like a horse. Noble. This is us at our best. Thank you Hht. I couldn’t pull it off yet. So thanks for setting the pace.

[@forestianetsler]

This song always makes me cry

[@kurtsauve1008]

I did too

[@melinakarabiyik7335]

Çok güzel bir parça, gerçekten çok duygulandım... Paylaşım için çok çok teşekkürler. Bütün türk kardeşlerime selam ve sevgi yollamak istiyorum. Tengri Biz Menen !

[@nadiaoemar82]

I am so obessed with this band right now.

[@JaroMedienGmbH]

[@user-th6gr1wf1v]

Чаражын Одуген тайганын ырлап каанын акыларымга улуу-биле могейдим. Тывам сакты бергеш Одуген тайгамны дыннаар дыр мен.

[@arnabchakraborty1462]

This song made me feel like I merged into the nature and this reminded me my village situated between deep forests and hills of kalahandi,odisha,India. Although I consider nature as god-sky as almighty and forests as mother. My holidays in those hill tracts of pine trees and pine fruits laying out and the sound of waterfall. I cried after hearing this really.

[@erborhartsaga]

Баянхангай, Хүнхэр хүрэн тайга минь өнө мөнхөд хишиг буянаа хайрлахту

[@chrisbarleta]

Idk what this music is doing to me but it's beautiful.

[@staindman00]

Impossible not to travel with this song ! Absolutely amazing !

Thankful that beautiful perspectives still exists in this world. Now if only I could get some of that beauty in my life...

[@JaroMedienGmbH]

[@danholden954]

I listen to this atleast twice a day, when I wake up, before I go to sleep, such a beautiful piece of music

[@homersipes]

I go to sleep to this song. The instrumental puts me right out. So calm and relaxing

[@iMAClikeDRE]

Do you still listen to this? I hope so

[@bobbarker3044]

[@ricartae]

Muy bonito... Gracias maestros

[@groegroe3216]

This is my new favorite band ever. Makes me feel like we are now far removed from nature with no turning back. So incredibly beautiful.

[@lepistanuda]

I cry every single time I listen to this song

[@sprintingwolf3860]

The music of my ancient ancestors is truly beautiful.

[@marcelopepinho]

This song takes me to another galaxy.... Amazing

[@JaroMedienGmbH]

a wonderful book about Tuva is out now kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIeQqKqQfKiAo68 and the band recommends it deeply

[@psn369]

So much heart and soul in this song... it's impossible to describe in words

[@munkhbatbold6066]

Mongol brother s in here truly respect.

[@SagucuTegin]

...and Turkic

[@yashru7149]

The song's name is almost identical to Anatolian Turkish. Ödügen Taiga = Ötüken Dağı. It's the sound of Teñri and of our ancestors. We haven't forgotten our kin in Great Steppe. There are many in Turkey who really care about our ancestors. Thank you for this great piece of music, it's the food for our soul.

[@batuyilman2533]

Taiga dağ degil baya tayga anlamına geliyor

[@nevillerobert318]

Not listening but entering a 3 dimensional spiritual state of nature and peace. It's a feeling which words do no justice to.

[@straypet8]

I got to see them play in Baltimore, this was like a dreamy lullaby...

[@GladEnthusiast]

Wonderous sounds, the most beautiful song I have ever heard

[@internet_internet]

Song of mountains & valleys

[@jhavajoe3792]

Romey Sullivan if you still care, or anyone cares, low to high I *think* it's Dflat, Aflat, Dflat, Aflat, Dflat, Eflat. Major scale would be Dflat, Eflat, F, Gflat, Aflat, Bflat, C, Dflat. Don't ask me for tabs tho, I haven't figured it out yet :)

這整系列的音樂演唱在臺灣為喪家辦喪事做作功德時和尚音稍有不同曲調配樂完全相同演唱表演，十幾二十年前我住客家莊這還很流行，後有殯儀館後沒落了。現在印度尼西亞東婆羅洲客家人村還有這種做齋仔曲調相同。
