Mongolian Anthems: ‘Black Banner be awakened’ The HU
byVanderleunonAugust 3, 2020
The Sons of Ghengis Khan are starting to get their groove on again. Its been around 650 years since the last time but still:
The Mongol Empire of the 13th and 14th centurieswas the largest contiguous land empire in history. Originating in Mongolia, the Mongol Empire eventually stretched from Eastern Europe and parts of Central Europe to the Sea of Japan, extending northward into parts of the Arctic; eastward and southward into the Indian subcontinent, Mainland Southeast Asia and the Iranian Plateau; and westward as far as the Levant and the Carpathian Mountains.
The HU – Yuve Yuve Yu
It has been so long eating and drinking being merry
How strange, how strange
Taking our Great Mongol ancestors names in vain
How strange, how strange
Yet, would not honor our oath and destiny
How strange, how strange
Why the valuable ethics of ancestors become worthless?
How strange, how strange
Hey, you traitor! Kneel down!
Hey, Prophecies be declared!
You’ve born in ancestor’s fate yet
Sleeping deeply, can’t be awakened
How strange, how strange
Blindly declaring that Only Mongols are the best
How strange, how strange
Born to live as nobles Yet, can’t unite as one
How strange, how strange
Why is it difficult to rise up our nation up?
How strange, how strange
Hey, you traitor! Kneel down
Hey, Prophecies be declared!
Why it’s so hard to cherish the Ancestors’ inherited land?
How strange, how strange
Why priceless edifications of elders turning to ashes?
How strange, how strange
With the future of eternal prosperity, The Wolf totem Mongols have the blessings of Heaven
Born with undeniable fate to gather nations, the Lord Chinggis declares his name on earth.
Would come back, Will come back
Oh Black Banner be awakened, be awakened
Oh the Khanate (royal power) rise and rise forever
How strange, how strange
Oh Black Banner be awakened, be awakened
Oh the Khanate (royal power) rise and rise forever
Sigh, Gerard. This post get me hangin’ with the Hu for the last hour. Especially liked The Wolf Totem: https://youtu.be/jM8dCGIm6yc

Bout damn time the role that Mongol poetry played in building the biggest land empire ever was fully explored
Some would point to the unconventional semi guerilla tactics snd their advanced compound bow or the fact that ALL Mongols were horse warriors and archers at the same time
But no. The real answer lay in their …. poetry

Not the world’s greatest expert on Mongolia, but is fair to say that currently they are feeling All Chinked Out.
Kind of like the rest of us, really.
I rather suspect one of their secret weapons in addition to compound bow was constant state of nutritional ketosis. Topic for another day.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.

Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

Men being men.
Black Banners Matter.
Black banner, black flag? Hoist them both.
For a slightly similar example of really old traditions being brought back, modernised, check out Heilung:

Loved it.
We can only hope the Mongols are like glaciers, implacable, merciless, but mighty slow to return.

Sounds like the fella had Paul Revere and the Raiders ‘Cherokee People’ on his mind. .
