The Internationale: Mongolian People's Republic Version (Интернационал: БНМАУ-ын Хувилбар)

Details

Description

Unlike the Mongol Internationale, this is actually the original Internationale in Mongolian. There is a recording of the Internationale in Mongolian here on YouTube, but it's a modern recording and it skips out halfway through the verses. However, I managed to get a hold of a record from the 50s with the full thing. This is the version as used in the Mongolian People's Republic, whereas the version used in Inner Mongolia has different lyrics which are closer to the standard Mandarin Chinese version. This recording is from an old record and my equipment isn't exactly the best, so the quality is a bit lacking. However, I hope you all enjoy this special piece of history.
