English Translation -

In the cold spring water
I was washing my shirt
As I was washing my shirt
I thought about my mother dearest.

Water hitting the river bank
Willows rocking in the wind
As I look at the trees dancing
I think about my mother dearest.

In the bitter stream water
I was washing my hands
As I was doing so
I thought about my mother dearest.


About the song -

The Kalmuk people are a Mongol subgroup in Russia, whose ancestors migrated from Dzungaria in 1607. They created the Kalmuk Khanate in 1630–1771 in Russia's North Caucasus territory. Today they form a majority in the Republic of Kalmukia located in the Kalmuk Steppe, on the western shore of the Caspian Sea.

ABOUT ETHNO

Ethno is JM International’s program for folk, world and traditional music. Founded in 1990, it is aimed at young musicians (ages 16-30) with a mission to revive and keep alive global cultural heritage. Present today in over 20 countries, Ethno engages young people through a series of annual international music camps as well as workshops, concerts and tours, working together with schools, conservatories and other groups of youth to promote peace, tolerance and understanding.

It is a non-formal pedagogy that has been refined over the past 30 years, embracing the principles of intercultural dialogue and understanding. Ethno provides a unique opportunity for young people from across the globe to come together and engage through music in a manner that is characterized by respect, generosity and openness.
