Jigmed Togmid Hoyr
Today, we celebrate the Children’s Day in Mongolia and for this occasion I am very excited to share this children’s song with you.
This song is called “Jigmed Togmid Hoyr” and I think of maybe make a few more of those in the future, as I find this kind of repertoire very positive and entertaining to learn and play!! I hope that you will enjoy!

Жигмэд Тогмид хоёр
Жигмэд Тогмид хоёр
Жимсэнд хамт явжээ
Уулын модонд очоод
Уралдаж түүхээр болжээ
Уулын модонд очоод
Уралдаж түүхээр болжээ
Жижиг савтай Жигмэд нь
Түрүүлнэ гэж барджээ
Том савтай Тогмид нь
Сүүлдэнэ гэж сүрджээ
Том савтай Тогмид нь
Сүүлдэнэ гэж сүрджээ
Түүсээр байгаад Тогмидын
Сав нь дүүрээд иржээ
Идсээр байгаад Жигмэдийн
Гэдэс нь цадаад иржээ
Идсээр байгаад Жигмэдийн
Гэдэс нь цадаад иржээ

Jigmed and Togmid
Go to the forest up in the mountains.
And decide to compete picking fruits
To see who will fill his basket first.
Jigmed having a smaller basket
Boasts that he will win.
Togmid having a bigger basket
Is afraid that he will lose.
However,
Togmid, having gathered all his fruits
Comes back with a full basket.
Jigmed, having eaten all his fruits
Comes back with a full stomach.
