TRANSLATION in English:

Who owns the elegant sorrel horse
Tied to a pole outside?
Who owns the only *tungertseg*
Lying by the fire?
* Tungertseg is a container made out of a ram’s scrotum

Who owns the beautiful sorrel horse
Tied to a pole in the countryside?
Who owns the snuff bottle and its carrying bag
Hanging from the rope to tie the lambs?

Who owns the short sorrel horse
Tied to the calves' rope?
Whose *tookhuu gos* are these
Lying by the camp fire?
* Tookhuu gos are Torguud boots made of felt, rope and cow leather souls

Who owns the agitated sorrel horse
Tied outside the house?
Who is this short man
Lying drunk on the ground?

Who owns the big-headed sorrel horse
Tied to the belt of the yourte?
Who is this naïve drunk
Who can’t differentiate inside from outside?
