Toasting Song (Ordos Mongolian)

Folk ballad? The author is unknown

Fill the gold and silver cups with wine? Raise your hands above your head

Fried rice milk tea Grilled meat with your hands? Have you had enough to drink today

Friends, friends, please try it? This wine is mellow? This wine is rich

Let us be close to each other? Our friendship will last forever? On this rich grassland ***Spring and Autumn Festival

Extended information:

Toast songs are a general term for a kind or category of songs. It is often used on festive occasions and welcome banquets. It is a song used to toast, persuade people to drink, and express good wishes and respect.

"Golden Cup", this toast song, is the most widely circulated and most frequently used among the many Mongolian toast songs. Among the Mongolian people, everyone, regardless of age or sex, can sing.

As long as there are guests, they must sing when toasting to show the host's respect and blessing. The wine glass should traditionally be a yellow sheep wood bowl inlaid with silver, paired with a hada.

There are certain rules for singing, toasting, receiving, and drinking during the toasting process. Those who are asked to give a toast: dress neatly, fill the cup with wine, first hold the cup and sing, and then bow their heads in worship. Required recipients: different ages and different actions. But regardless of whether you accept the cup or not, you have to wait until the song is finished before you can drink.

Due to the different habits of Dongmeng, Simon and other places, there will be some differences in procedures and actions. It should be noted that the music score and lyrics also vary depending on the region and circulation. This is why we often hear different people singing differently.
