The song expresses the Tuvan belief that a person who takes care of his environment, his livestock, and the plentiful taiga will want for nothing. It refers to Tangdy, or the Tannu-Ola mountains, a mountain range in southern Tuva that is revered by the Tuvan people. The name of the mountain range is incorporated into "Tannu-Tuva," the popular name for the Tuvan People's Republic.[2]

Russian translation
Cyrillic Transliteration

Когда я гуляю в своих лесах,
я всегда доволен -
ведь мои леса богаты
животными и всем, что мне нужно.

Там, среди гор,
скал, тайги, родился я.

Вот почему я так силен.
Я буду выращивать свой домашний скот
и стану богатым.

Девять различных животных – Если я буду
пасти их и кормить

и позабочусь о них, как о своих,
Я стану богат.

Kogda ja guljaju v svoih lesah,
ja vsegda dovolen —
vedj moi lesa bogaty
životnymi i vsem, čto mne nužno.

Tam, sredi gor,
skal, tajgi, podilsja ja.

Vot počemu ja tak silen.
Ja budu vyrašcivatj svoj domašnij skot
i stanu bogatym.

Devjatj različnyh životnyh – Jesli ja budu
pasti ih i kormitj.

i pozabočusj o nih, kak o svoih,
Ja stanu bogat.

Rough English translation
When I walk in my forest
I will always be satisfied
Because my forest is rich with
animals and everything I need.
There in the mountains, the
cliffs, the taiga, I was born.
Because of that I am strong.
I will raise my livestock
and be rich.
Nine different animals – If I herd
them and feed them
And take care of them as my
own – I'll be rich.
