The Tuvan throat singing technique creates multiple notes at the same time. This is done by manipulating the harmonics to amplify different overtones within their mouth, throat, and belly when they are singing, and is referred to as Khoomei in its native Tuva.
In 1992 Kaigal-ool Khovalyg, Alexander Bapa, his brother Sayan Bapa, and Albert Kuvezin founded the quartet Kungurtuk, as a means of concentrating on the presentation of traditional songs of their homeland. The musicians later decided to rename the ensemble Huun-Huur-Tu. After the first album 60 Horses in my Herd (1993), Kuvezin left the band to form the more rock-oriented Yat-Kha. Kuvezin was replaced by Anatoli Kuular, who had previously worked with Khovalyg and Kongar-ool Ondar as part of the Tuva Ensemble. In 1995, Alexander Bapa, who had produced the first two albums, departed the band to pursue production as a full-time career. He was replaced by Alexei Saryglar. In 2003 Kuular quit the band and was replaced by Andrey Mongush.
The name Huun-Huur-Tu (sometimes spelled without hyphens) translates literally to "Sun Propeller," a Tuvan term referring to the special kind of light you can see streaming down through the clouds at dawn or down through densely leaved trees at noon.
The most distinctive characteristic of Huun Huur Tu's music is throat singing, in which the singers sing both the note (drone) and the drone's overtone(s), thus producing two or three notes simultaneously. The overtone may sound like a flute, whistle or bird, but is solely a product of the human voice.
The group primarily uses native Tuvan instruments such as the igil, khomus (Tuvan jaw harp), doshpuluur, and dünggür (shaman drum). However, in recent years, the group has begun to selectively incorporate western instruments, such as the guitar. While the thrust of Huun Huur Tu's music is fundamentally indigenous Tuvan folk music, they also experiment with incorporating not only Western instruments, but electronic music as well.

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
@kelepirci
Yes it not a happy song. It tells the reality of orphans in vast tundras of Mongolia.
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

Öksüzün ağıdı
Ben öksüzüm; yalnızım
Bebekken ölmedim ne yazık ki
Bebekken ölseydim
Hiç acı çekmezdim
Ben kara (en, çok) yanlızım
Ne yazık ki beşiğimde ölmedim
Beşiğimde ölseydim
Acı çekmezdim
Yavru kuşlara ne yazık
Yuvasız kaldı
Bebeğe ne yazık
Annesiz kaldı
Birinin kaderini
Öteki değiştiremez
Benim göçmüş anneciğimi
Hiç birşey geri getiremez
@TurukBodun
Ben bir öksüzüm, yalnızım.
Ne yazık ki bebekken ölmedim.
Eğer bebekken ölseydim,
Asla acı çekmezdim.
Ben yapayalnızım.
Ne yazık ki beşiğimde ölmedim.
Eğer beşiğimde ölseydim,
Asla acı çekmezdim.
Ne yazık ki yavru kuş,
Yuvasız kaldı.
Ne yazık ki bir bebek,
Annesiz kaldı.
Kişinin kaderi,
Kimse onu değiştiremez.
Benim ölmüş annem,
Kimse onu geri getiremez.

Я сирота.Я одинок.
Жаль я не умер ребёнком
Если бы я умер тогда
Мне бы не пришлось страдать
Я -само одиночество
Жаль я не помер в колыбели
Если бы я умер в колыбели
Мне бы не пришлось страдать
Жаль птенцов
выпавших из гнезда
Жаль ребёнка
Без матери
Такая судьба
Её не изменить
Пропавшую мать
Ничто не вернёт

More accurate lyrics:
“I became an orphan, I became so lonely.
I die in my cradle kay!
If I was to die in my cradle,
No one would've pitied on my dead body.
(0:57 - 1:53)
I became darkly alone, I became so lovely.
I remain in my cradle kay!
If I was to remain in my cradle,
No one would've pitied on my bloody body.
(1:54 - 2:50) then again (3:27 - 3:47)
When they leave their nest,
what should baby birds do?
When they leave their mothers,
what should baby humans do?
(3:48 - 4:44)
If world shakes like a cradle,
No one would've put a blanket, no one would've tied.
If my departed mother comes back,
Joy of the old wouldn't be there.”
(4:45 - 5:45)

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

Still to this day, this is my favourite song by Huun Huur Tu. So delicate and heart breaking at the same time.
@miceskin
This is the most moving song I have ever heard in my life, it's like the cry of humanity or something. I can't type any more, any more words will cheapen this.
@kamiraanddie12394
Stunning is the perfect one word to describe this masterpiece.
