about
"Altaidyn Alkyzshy" (Благопожелание) is a blessing from the Altai Republic, which is being performed here by Bai-Terek (Danil Danzheev & Ezendey Balbin) in the Altai Mountains, Russia (June 2019).
Although I couldn't source the translation, I'm told by Bai Terek that the blessing is a message of goodwill to the native land. The musical instrument Bai Terek are playing is the tovshuur / topshuur, and the song is sung in the Altai language.
Altai is a Russian republic in southern Siberia whose terrain encompasses the Altai Mountains and surrounding tundra, alpine meadows and thousands of lakes. Most of the republic is protected as biodiverse reserves.
Altai is a Turkic language that includes Mongolic, and Tungusic language families and possibly also the Japonic and Koreanic languages.
lyrics
Jойгон агаш бу тозинен
Jондоп эткен бай топшуурым
Jорго малдын jараж кылдын
Толгой эрлеп кылдайп соккон
Чаал калын бу тозинен
Чаап эткен бай топшуурым
Чабар тайдын jараж кылдын
Кылдап соккон бай топшуурым
