Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Харах нүдэнд ертөнц бүүдийж манантаад
Наран галан сүүдэр дэрлэн анилдаад
Хээлэн цахилах хурмаст тэнгэрийн хар аянга, хар аянга
Харанхуйг зүсэн эрчит жадаар наадалдаад
Хөрстийн магнайд гэрлэн ташуур цавчилдаад
Нүргэлэн дуугарах сүнсэн биений их омогт
Өө өө Мөнх тэнгэрийн хар аянга
Өө өө Мөнх тэнгэрийн хар аянга
Хуйлрах салхинд хөвчин дэлхий угалзраад
Ангасан газар тэнгэрт дүүлэн гагнагдаад
Хурмаст баясан усан мөндөр асгараад
Харлан догшрох хилэн сүнсэт, хар аянга
Галдан Бошигт хааны ахуйг түшилцээд
Эрийн хийморь баатар сэрхүйд мөнхлөгдөөд
Дээдийн тэнгэрт Монгол нэрээ тамгалаад
Нүргэлэн цахилах мөнхөл тэнгэрийн хар аянга, хар аянга
Өө өө Мөнх тэнгэрийн хар аянга
Өө өө Мөнх тэнгэрийн хар аянга
Өө өө Сэтгэлийг татая даа
Өө өө Мөнх тэнгэрийн хар аянга
Хар аянга, хар аянга
Хар аянга, хар аянга хү хү хү
Хар аянга, хар аянга хү хү хү
Black Thunder by The Hu is a song that sings praises to the gods and to the great Mongol Empire. The song combines the traditional throat singing with modern rock music to create an epic and powerful sound that encapsulates the strength and majesty of Mongolian culture. The lyrics describe the beauty of the natural world and the power of the Mongol warriors who hail from these lands.
The song opens with a description of the majestic sky (hokh tolgoi), which serves as a backdrop for the action that unfolds in the rest of the song. The singer describes how the winds (anil), clouds (süüder), and thunder (erdene) combine to create a sense of awe-inspiring power. The next two verses pay tribute to the strength and courage of the Mongol warriors, who are described as being like wild stallions (khuranhuu) and endowed with supernatural abilities (magind). The final verse is a call to arms, urging the Mongols to rise up and reclaim their place as the world's greatest conquerors.
Overall, Black Thunder is a powerful and evocative song that captures the spirit of Mongol culture and imagery. The combination of traditional and modern musical styles creates a unique sound that is unlike anything else in contemporary music.

Хөх л тэнгэрт үүл нь эргэн хуралдаад
The clouds in the blue sky gather and swirl
Харах нүдэнд ертөнц бүүдийж манантаад
The dark thunder roars, frightening those who witness it
Наран галан сүүдэр дэрлэн анилдаад
The fierce wind blows, carrying red dust in its wake
Хээлэн цахилах хурмаст тэнгэрийн хар аянга, хар аянга
The black thunder of the sky rumbles with the sound of horses' hooves
Харанхуйг зүсэн эрчит жадаар наадалдаад
The lightning flashes brightly like the scales of a silver carp
Хөрстийн магнайд гэрлэн ташуур цавчилдаад
The canopy of the yurt shakes in fear as the thunder rolls on
Нүргэлэн дуугарах сүнсэн биений их омогт
The hearts of strong men tremble with the thunder's mighty roar
Цахилан дүрэлзэх хурмаст тэнгэрийн хар аянга, хар аянга
The black thunder of the sky echoes like the howling of wolves
Өө өө Мөнх тэнгэрийн хар аянга
Oh, oh, the eternal black thunder of the sky
Хуйлрах салхинд хөвчин дэлхий угалзраад
The snow swirls like a whirlpool, engulfing the world
Ангасан газар тэнгэрт дүүлэн гагнагдаад
The sky is obscured by the swirling dust of the barren land
Хурмаст баясан усан мөндөр асгараад
The strong wind blows and raises a cloud of sand
Харлан догшрох хилэн сүнсэт, хар аянга
The black cloud of dust rises up like a black dragon
Галдан Бошигт хааны ахуйг түшилцээд
The leader of the powerful galdan boshog tribe gathers his army
Эрийн хийморь баатар сэрхүйд мөнхлөгдөөд
The brave warrior of the steppe rides his warhorse, clad in armor
Дээдийн тэнгэрт Монгол нэрээ тамгалаад
The Mongol name is carved into the high sky
Нүргэлэн цахилах мөнхөл тэнгэрийн хар аянга, хар аянга
The black thunder of the sky roars like a lion
Өө өө Мөнх тэнгэрийн хар аянга
Oh, oh, the eternal black thunder of the sky
Өө өө Сэтгэлийг татая даа
Oh, oh, wash away all the bad luck
Хар аянга, хар аянга
Black thunder, black thunder
Хар аянга, хар аянга хү хү хү
Black thunder, black thunder, hoo hoo hoo
Хар аянга, хар аянга хү хү хү
Black thunder, black thunder, hoo hoo hoo
