7. The Song of the Sheep

The Song of the Sheep (Yangka Luu [g.yang dkar glu] in Tibetan) was sung in Tibetan by Mongghul living in the Fulaan Nara area. Historically, Mongghul lived with Tibetans in this area. Before the 1950s, many Mongghul in Fulaan Nara spoke Tibetan, and marriage between Mongghul people and Tibetans was also common. In the same way that Mongghul people received Buddhism from Tibetans, so folksongs were once widely learned from local Tibetans and sung in Mongghul society. It is said that only a few extremely talented singers could sing The Song of the Sheep, however, and that they needed several days and nights to finish it. This song came from Tibetans, and so too did two other songs: Szii (Divination) and Qarog (Formation of the Earth). These are sung in Tibetan antiphonally, with questions and answers.

Folksong competitions were popular in the areas where Tibetans and Mongghul lived together. Historically, it is said that if someone could sing The Song of the Sheep they were regarded as an above average singer, and were deemed eligible to attend folksong competitions. It took several days and nights to sing The Song of the Sheep in full.

People thought it was shameful to be defeated by rivals during folksong matches. In the past, people learned folksongs in order to demonstrate their talents in public gatherings, such as weddings, drinking parties in the home, or village celebrations. Memorizing and singing folksongs was one way that Mongghul people showed their wisdom in Mongghul society, and that’s why many young Mongghul people frequently went to study folksongs from singers in the past, in just the same way that young Mongghul people go to attend school today.

The Song of the Sheep is here translated into Mongghul, Chinese, and English from Tibetan.

昨天前天寻福羊，

步履匆匆往上走，

到了茂密檀香林，

阳山树枝罩阴山，

阴山树枝遮阳山,

在那茂密树林里，

寻得一毛人生疑,

有人说那是鹿毛，

有人说那是麝香毛，

有人说那是福羊毛。

We searched for the sheep yesterday and the day before yesterday,

Walking quickly upwards,

We arrived at a sandalwood forest,

Trees covered the sunny side of the mountain,

Trees covered the shady side of the mountain,

In the dense forest.

We found a tuft of wool and inspected it.

Someone said it was wool from a deer,

Someone said it was wool from a musk deer,

Someone said it was wool from a sheep.

那毛确实令人疑，

檀香林是鹿的家，

有那鹿毛不奇怪。

檀香林是麝的家，

有那麝毛不奇怪。

福羊肯定不在林，

究竟在那仍不知。

In the dense sandalwood forest

Truly the wool was inspected.

Deer live in the sandalwood forest,

It is not strange at all to see the wool of a deer there.

Musk deer live in the sandalwood forest,

It is not strange at all to see the wool of a musk deer there.

Sheep don’t live in the forest,

We don’t know where the sheep is.

寻羊往那中路走，

却到无边大沙漠,

黄沙纷飞漫天日，

阴坡阳坡沙无定，

就在阴阳坡之间，

三个脚印令人疑,

有人说是鹿脚印，

有人说是麝脚印，

有人说是羊脚印。

We searched for the sheep, walking on the middle road,

Until arriving in a desert.

Dust and stones flew around in a storm

And covered the shady side of the mountain.

Between the shady and sunny sides of the mountain

We found three footprints, and inspected them.

Someone said they were a deer’s footprints,

Someone said they were a musk deer’s footprints,

Someone said they were a sheep’s footprints.

就在莽莽沙漠里，

三个脚印令人疑。

天亮东方发白时，

鹿群就在滩中行，

有那鹿印不奇怪。

红红太阳初升时，

黄羊就往滩中行，

黄羊脚印不奇怪。

日落西山黄昏时，

麝群往那滩中行，

有那麝印不奇怪,

福羊不在我肯定。

In the boundless desert

We checked the three footprints.

At daybreak,

If a deer goes to the center of the plain

Then it is nothing strange to see its footprints.

As the sun rises,

If a Mongolian gazelle goes to the center of the plain

Then it is nothing strange to see its footprints.

At sunset,

If a musk deer goes to the center of the plain

Then it is nothing strange to see its footprints.

I’m sure there is no sheep here.

寻羊寻到沼泽边，

福羊脚印在哪里？

寻羊寻到山林中，

福羊羊毛在哪里？

寻羊寻到草山中，

黑色粪粒在哪里？

不知福羊有没有？

A few days ago we looked for the sheep

In the swamp,

But where were the sheep’s footprints?

We looked for the sheep in the forest,

But where was the sheep’s wool?

We looked for the sheep in the grassland,

But where were the sheep’s droppings?

Is there a sheep or not?

芳菲如茵草山中，

三粒黑粪令人疑,

有人说那是鹿粪，

有人说那是麝粪，

有人说那是羊粪，

究竟是否我不定。

In the verdant grassland

People inspected three droppings.

Someone said they were deer droppings,

Someone said they were musk deer droppings,

Someone said they were sheep droppings.

I didn’t know what on Earth they were.

芳菲如茵草山中，

三粒黑令人疑，

东方朝日初升时，

那是鹿群觅食处，

有那鹿粪不奇怪。

那是麝群经过处，

寻得麝粪不奇怪，

福羊肯定不在此，

去往哪里仍不知。

In the verdant grassland

We inspected the three droppings.

At daybreak

It is the place where deer look for grass to eat,

So it would not be strange to see deer droppings.

It is the place where musk deers pass by,

So it would not be strange to see musk deer droppings.

The sheep is not here.

I don’t know where the sheep is.

说出解脱大功德。

The sheep didn’t walk toward the sea

But toward Tibet.

The masters from Tibet said

The sheep is not guilty of eating grass.

This was heard one hundred times in a day.

We listened well.

The sound of the judgement resounded in people’s ears,

As they told of great deeds.

But walked toward Tibet.

At a place in Tibet where an esteemed bodhisattva conducted rites

Hundreds and thousands of monks were gathered.

A shepherd said

People there don’t believe in Buddhist scriptures.

若要宰羊犒劳你，

说出法律怎么样。

The sheep didn’t stay in Tibet

But walked to the lands of the law-abiding Han Chinese.

The Han Chinese Emperor said

The sheep is not guilty of eating grass.

This was heard one hundred times in a day.

The sound of judgement resounded in people’s ears.

I will reward you if the sheep is slaughtered,

If you are able to tell us about the law.

The sheep didn’t stay in Tibet

But walked to the lands of the law-abiding Han Chinese.

In front of the gate of the Emperor’s palace

Sheep and oxen were herded,

Which was prohibited by the law.

若要宰羊犒劳你，

先请丈量划地方。

The sheep didn’t stay in the land of the Han Chinese,

But walked to Yirmu6 Plain in Xikang.

Since the earth there was level

The sheep wanted to live there.

Time passed slowly,

It wanted to live happily.

I will reward you if the sheep is slaughtered,

If you are able to make a place for the sheep to stay.

The sheep didn’t stay on Yirmu Plain

But went up to Heaven.

The blue sky was boundless,

An eternal city blocked the sheep.

The key to the city was not in the sky,

But in the hands of the gatekeeper, the Little Dragon King.

He won’t slaughter the sheep,

But will raise it for a hundred years.
