The 50th Anniversary of Ochirbatyn DASHBALBAR
by O.DASHBALBAR
Like a beautiful swan stretching its neck and folding its wings
A dozing girl falls asleep, resting her head on her arms
Evening dusk settles in the fading glimmer
Filling the space around it with its magic, soft and flowing waves
Crafting a piece of extraordinary beauty
Is the Universe, displaying its twinkling golden flash before my eyes?
I gaze, afraid of the slightest move, forcing down the lightest breath of mine
How splendid her golden and silky hair?
For this flash of time, did I leave behind thousand years in my dreams?
Or did I turn into a marble stone with no heart beating with life?
As if in a Heavenly Voyage to a distant world beyond compare
Everything around me looks so new and so magnificent.

A narrow definition includes the Mongols proper, which can be roughly divided into eastern and western Mongols. In a wider sense, the Mongol people includes all people who speak a Mongolic language, such as the Kalmyks of eastern Europe
