Orphan’s lament – beautiful sad song

A sad but beautiful soulful song worth sharing by Huun-Huur-Tu- it’s called the Orphan’s Lament and translates to

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.

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

One’s fate,

One cannot change it.

My departed mother,

Nothing can bring her back
