The national anthem of Mongolia (Mongolian: Монгол Улсын төрийн дуулал, romanized: Mongol Ulsiin töriin duulal, pronounced [ˈmɔɴɢɞ̆ɮ ˈʊɮsʲiŋ ˈtʰɵrʲiŋ ˈtʊːɮɐɮ]), known before the fall of communism as the state anthem of the Mongolian People's Republic^[a] was created in 1950 with music composed by Bilegiin Damdinsüren and Luvsanjambyn Mördorj, and lyrics written by Tsendiin Damdinsüren.^[2]^[3]

History[]

Since the early 20th century, Mongolia has had two national anthems. The first one used between 1924 and 1950, was called the "Mongol Internationale", with words by Sonombaljiryn Buyannemekh and music by Magsarjavyn Dugarjav.^[4] It is often incorrectly listed as the Mongolian language version of "The Internationale" despite the two songs having almost nothing in common aside from similar names.^[5]^{[better source needed]} The Internationale does actually have a Mongolian version, however, which should not be confused with the Mongol Internationale.^[6]

The second anthem by Damdinsüren and Mördorj replaced the Mongol Internationale and has been in use since 1950. The lyrics were changed slightly in 1961 to include references to the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party and remove references to various Soviet and Mongolian leaders; however, the original lyrics were restored in early 1991 a mere year prior to the end of the Mongolian People's Republic.^[2] Since 1991, most of the lyrics from 1950 are in use again, but the second verse (praising Lenin, Stalin, Sükhbaatar, and Choibalsan) has been removed. On 6 July 2006, the lyrics were revised by the Mongolian Parliament to commemorate Genghis Khan.^[3]

The current constitution of Mongolia mandates that the national anthem be broadcast daily on media channels prior to the end of transmissions.^{[citation needed]}

Mongols, eternal joy and liberty For us have finally triumphed. Towards our future, charge with fervour, Mongolia, forever endure!
