Lyrics

Амыран

Кӱреҥ кӱстиҥ ӧйинде,
Аҥдап јортым тайгага.
Сыгын айдын салкыны,
Сыылап турды таскылда.

Агын сууда сары бӱр,
Агып јадат учы јок.
Сыгын айдыҥ салкыны,
Сыылап турды таскылда.

Lyrics in English

Amyran

In the brown autumn season,
Riding and shooting in the great forest.
Singing a tune in the gentle moonlight breeze,
A tribute to the homeland.

Layered yellow leaves like streams,
Flowing endlessly as they overturn.
Singing a tune in the gentle moonlight breeze,
A tribute to the homeland.
