National Anthem of Mongolia
The national
anthem of Mongolia (Mongolian: Монгол Улсын төрийн дуулал, romanized:
Mongol Ulsiin töriin duulal, pronounced [ˈmɔɴɢɞ̆ɮ ˈʊɮsʲiŋ ˈtʰɵrʲiŋ ˈtʊːɮɐɮ]), known before the fall of
communism as the state anthem of the Mongolian People’s Republic[a] was created
in 1950 with music composed by Bilegiin Damdinsüren and Luvsanjambyn Mördorj,
and lyrics written by Tsendiin Damdinsüren.
Mongolia`s
present day anthem has been in region because 1950, but has gone through numerous
modifications in its lyrics. The authentic lyrics had been changed in 1961,
possibly in part because of the point out of Stalin withinside the authentic
lyrics, because the Communist global underwent a procedure of
“de-Stalinization” after his dying in 1953; it’s been pronounced that among the
time of his dying and the alternative of the lyrics in 1961, the second one
verse became now no longer performed.
After the transition to democracy from
Communism in 1990, the authentic lyrics from 1950-1961 had been restored,
however with mild modifications, eliminating the references of Communist
heroes. In July, 2006, the lyrics had been barely revised again, and each
verses now have their personal particular refrain.
Since the early
20th century, Mongolia has had two national anthems. The first one used between
1924 and 1950, was called the “Mongol Internationale”, with words by
Sonombaljiryn Buyannemekh and music by Magsarjavyn Dugarjav. It is often
incorrectly listed as the Mongolian language version of “The
Internationale” despite the two songs having almost nothing in common
aside from similar names. The Internationale does actually have a Mongolian
version, however, which should not be confused with the Mongol Internationale.
The second
anthem by Damdinsüren and Mördorj replaced the Mongol Internationale and has
been in use since 1950. The lyrics were changed slightly in 1961 to include
references to the Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party and remove references
to various Soviet and Mongolian leaders; however, the original lyrics were
restored in early 1991 a mere year prior to the end of the Mongolian People’s
Republic. Since 1991, most of the lyrics from 1950 are in use again, but the
second verse (praising Lenin, Stalin, Sükhbaatar, and Choibalsan) has been
removed. On 6 July 2006, the lyrics were revised by the Mongolian Parliament to
commemorate Genghis Khan.
The current
constitution of Mongolia mandates that the national anthem be broadcast daily
on media channels prior to the end of transmissions.

Mongolian Lyrics
Дархан манай тусгаар улс

Далай их дээдсийн гэгээн үйлс
Дандаа энхжиж, үүрд мөнхөжнө

Хамаг дэлхийн шударга улстай
Хамтран нэгдсэн эвээ бэхжүүлж
Хатан зориг, бүхий л чадлаараа

Өндөр төрийн минь сүлд ивээж
Өргөн түмний минь заяа түшиж

Үрийн үрдээ өвлөн бадраая
