Hello Beth. Hu is short for Hun-nu, where we get the name 'hun', as in Atilla the Hun. Hu is said like 'who', so Hunnu would sound like Who-Nu in English. Also Hunnu is the word in Mongolian for themselves. As you said though, Hu is the basis for the word "human". In the context of the song, and how it is used here, it might translate in English to 'Us Us Us'. If you watch the video again, do it with closed captions turned on to get the English lyrics. As you will see, the song is about taking pride in one's ancestors. The numbers spoken of, and animals are sizes of Mongolian cavalry units, and the animals are both Totems and 'shorthand' for tactics. If you come as a Snake, we will fly over you. If you come as... you get the idea. Also, the Totems listed in the song are modern Mongolian wrestling ranks as well. (side note: the Garuda [Gar-Rue-Dah] bird is based upon the Garuda Air Spirit of India, which is also called the Aquila, and hence the name of the Constellation in Astronomy. Thus, an Eagle. Yes, the name goes back THAT far). If you have not yet gotten around to listening to their other released song, Yuve Yuve Yu, I highly suggest you do so. Again with closed captions turned on. That song is a lament that so many modern Mongolians have 'forsaken' their Culture and their History. speaking, Frank-ly

[@christofferrasmussen6533]

Ugh, when you try too hard and still fail... Hu is the root word for human being, not a shortened form of hunnu. I realize you also kinda said that, but what precedes that sentence is just plain wrong.

Hu (said as Hue, as in a shade of color) is the base word for Human. Considering how old the Mongolian language is, I would not be surprised to find out that the English Hu is derived from the Mongolian Hu, Which together can be thought of as saying 'Us' 'People' 'Humans'.

Anyone in the comments saying the Mongols were nationalists are pretty funny and very anachronistic, considering that the Mongols adapted to the cultures of whoever they conquered, learned their technologies, religions (all were considered equal so long as they submitted to the will of the Khanate) and language techniques (such as writing). The Mongols were staunch defenders of equality under the law no matter your birth (as Ghengis himself was persecuted and betrayed multiple times over by his peers because of his ideas that nobles were not innately superior to non-nobles); their legions were deliberately comprised of people who spoke different languages (their basic military units were 10, 100, 1000, and 10,000 men). Usually they would organize it so that in the unit of 10 men, there would be at least 5 different native speakers of different languages. The Mongols deliberately did this so that people of various backgrounds would integrate, become friends and fight together as one despite drastically different cultural upbringing (this was how they expanded their armies exponentially in size). If one man deserted, the other nine would be executed. The vast majority of Mongol troops who conquered much of the known world were not born speaking the Mongols' language; people as varied as Chinese, Georgian, Medieval Russians, Greeks, Turks, Persians, Armenians, French etc all fought under the Mongol banner at one point or another. If you have ancestors from Asia or Europe, you probably have an ancestor who fought for the Mongols in a Tumen (a legion of 10,000) at one point and was therefore acknowledged as a Mongol. It was famously said that anyone could carry a pound of gold in the open and walk all the way from the Mongol Capital to Crimea and not be attacked by a single bandit, because that road was lined with skulls. Anyone who tries to promote a modern political position that did not exist until the Treaty of Westphalia (in the 1600s) on a music video is just silly.

[@joystickricksherrell774]

It's so true...you could be anyone you wanted as long as you identified as Mongol. Hence the Mongol army you are talking about. All successful armies adapt to the culture/ do as the natives. Just as it's spelled out in the U.S. Army manual #1970,chapter 1.

For ones that havent realize. This song and Yuve Yu is about Great Khan's, elder ones, but most importantly its about nationalizm. It speaks about defending their culture and land. If you attack them, they will turn into the predator and hunt you back. In Yuve Yu, they are fighting against the ones that have forgotten who they are. Denying Great Khan, not listening the elders and forgetting their past.

[@nittygritty7034]

Not really. There's a line in yuve yuve yu where are they chastise people for 'blindly saying only Mongols are the best'. Not zenophobic at all if you ask me.

[@nittygritty7034]

They have a song about, how one of Genghis Khan's greatest achievements was the Gereg. Which was basically a passport. Letting people and ideas move from place to place.

The ornamentation on their instruments and jewelry is actually a link to the traditional nomadic past. A nomadic people cannot have a huge number of possessions, therefore each one would be as ornate as possible. The jewelry is like the coin belts on a belly dancer... wearing your wealth. Also, try reading the translated lyrics. They are powerful.

[@ivangildeev1437]

I am Russian, but I was born, raised and live at the moment in Ulan-Ude, in the capital of Buryatia, a region in Eastern Siberia that borders Mongolia and whose indigenous population the Buryats are essentially one of the Mongolian peoples. The Buryats have the same culture, way of life, religion and language as the Mongols. They differ from Mongolian ones slightly. During the Soviet era, Mongolia and Buryatia were considered one large unofficial republic. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Mongolia became a separate country. Now in Mongolia, there is more and more influence from China, both economic and cultural. As a person familiar with Mongolian or Buryat (essentially the same) culture since childhood, many things from this song are clear to me. Firstly, a musical instrument with two strings is the morin khuur. Morin is translated from Buryat and Mongolian as a horse. The strings on this instrument are made of horse hair and the most interesting thing is that they can make sounds similar to the whinnying of a horse. And it is worth mentioning separately about the title of the song. Mongolian peoples, including Buryats, practice two religions: shamanism and Buddhism. According to shamanic traditions, people have ancestral spirits called totem. Having a wolf totem is very honorable. Only the privileged dynasties possessed it. Genghis Khan for example. The wolf totem is the spirit of the sky. And all because the wolf is the most powerful animal in the steppe, he dominates there. And there is even a hypothesis that the Mongols watched the wolf packs and developed their own battle tactics. By the way, Genghis Khan means heavenly khan.

@Beth Roars I recommend checking out Tuvan Throat Singing. It gives you a better idea of what this is all about.

[@romanchristopher4399]

Huun Huur Tu is a good folk band from Tuva. They are a pioneer at introducing central Asian Mongol-Turk folk music and the throat singing to the western world. Tuvans are a sub-tribe of Mongol people. Their lifestyle, religion, culture, and history tell us that they are only related to Mongols. Until 1920s Tuva (Urainkhai) was a part of Mongolia. In1921, Soviet Russia detached a section of Outer Mongolia, named Tannu-Tuva. After many years of Russian assimilation, Tuva's Mongol identity is still strong.
