Lyrics:

The geese in the sky fly from the north to the south

To find the warmth of the sun

To say that the rebel Gadamerin

It is for the Mongolian people's land

The little geese that flew in from the south

Don't take off until they land on the Yangtze River

To say that the rebel Gadamerin

It is for the Mongolian people's land

When I say that the rebel Gadamerin is for the Mongolian people's land

It is for the Mongolian people's land

3, "Danabala"

Modern Mongolian folk narrative poem. It was produced and circulated in the area of Zherimu League of Inner Mongolia. A young man, Danabala, was forcibly recruited by the flag commander, Baoshan Yi (Erdun Bilig), and promised to reunite with his lover, Jinxiang, after three years. As a result of the obstruction of Bao Shanyi, Danabala was only able to escape home four years later, when Jinxiang had been forced to marry.

Danabala, in grief, got drunk and was seriously injured by Bao's henchmen. When Jinxiang heard of the incident and came to meet him, Danabala was already on his deathbed, and he expressed his wish to his lover to be married in the next life, and drank his heart out.

The long poem expresses the hatred and protest of the Mongolian people against the military service system of the reactionary ruling class, and portrays Jinxiang as a woman who was bullied and damaged.

She is devoted to love and expresses her wish to be united with Danabala in the afterlife, showing her contempt for feudal rites. The long poem is mainly sung, interspersed with prose interjections. The lyrics are heartfelt and moving, vividly portraying the twisted hearts of the hero and heroine and their longing for a happy life.

From the end of that string comes a wonderful music ho, from your heart pours out a warm whisper ho, remembering your wisdom, ah, Senjidema even though carrying a bucket of gold, where to find. It is painful, Sengidma.

Born clearer than the waters of that eastern sea ho, if one can be regenerated in the world of men, ah, Sengidma may we live together in freedom. Ah, what an agony, Sengidma.

Born clearer than the waters of that blue sea ho, remembering your wisdom. Ah, Senggidma, even from youth to old age I do not complain. Ah, what a pain in the ass, Senjidma.

Born cleaner than the gurgling water, ho, remembering your cleverness and dexterity. Ah, Sengidma, if we cannot meet in this life, we shall rejoice together in the next. Ah, what an agony, Senjidma.

The water of the Laoha River is long, long, long,

The horses on the bank are dragging their jerks,

The beautiful girl, Nuonjiya,

was married off to a faraway place.

By the side of her parents in those days,

Damask and silk for new garments,

Coming to this remote place,

Sewing skins and furs for garments.

The waters of the Haiqing River make waves,

Thinking of her parents' love,

A horse is the bride price,

and her daughter marries far away from home.
