Chadagan

Country: Russia/Tuva
Language: Tuvan
Lyrics:
Khöömejimni kagbazy, khönü chitpes chadaganym
Khölchüng kara urug-bile, khöörezhiir chadaganym

When I play my chadagan for you, darling you will know my love is true
Joy will keep my chadagan in tune, when I play my chadagan for you

Chadagan, my chadagan, chadagan, my chadagan.

More info:
A song from the Smithsonian Folkways recording, Musics of the Soviet Union, listed as “Song from Khomeizhi." The chadagan is a Tuvan instrument resembling a zither. Many thanks to Urana Kuular for the translation!
