陶布秀尔，是蒙古族最古老的弹拨乐器，大约产生于匈奴时代。比马头琴还要古老。跳动的 琴弦与舞动的踢踏，在这里相映成趣，相得益彰，营造出了一种草原神奇的古韵，也塑造出 了一种草原腾飞的情韵.
Tovshuur is a two-stringed instrument, it is the most ancient of all Mongolian musical instruments, even older than the Morin Khuur. The roots of the instrument can be traced back to the time of the Huns. Flipping of the strings perfectly matched by stepping of the toes, the song brings new life to ancient tunes, depicts a bright road ahead for the people.
I have translated the beautiful lyrics into English. Enjoy.
[Praise of the Gobi Desert]
from deep inside the boundless gobi desert
came the beautiful and calm sound of music
from the mist in which swans lost their direction
came the sound of water from bamboo fall
fill the bucket with this spring water
the water is cool and fresh
the crying sound of new born lamb
welcomed the arrival of spring season
heards of Mongolian gazelle racing ahead
that is the beat of my delirious heart
the broadness of the Gobi deeply touched me
wish to be her child again in the next life
in the heart of the deep desert
is the track of wild camels
the surface of the endless desert
is dotted with beautiful jewels
lurking inside the magnificant poplar forest
is the blessing of the soul of ancestors
the mascot of Torghut
is singing the tunes of epic legend
heards of Mongolian gazelle racing ahead
that is the beat of my delirious heart
the broadness of the Gobi deeply touched me
wish to be her child again in the next life
