And now for something completely different...

Chirgilchin - Homudal (Lonely Man)

Translation:

If I should be alone
I would be alone like an eagle
Had I been born an eagle
I, too, would pleat a nest on the cliffs of Een-ne

If I should be alone
I would be alone like a falcon
Had I been born a falcon
I, too, would pleat a nest on the cliffs of Kakpa

Wandering and roaming
Somewhere I will stumble and fall
The yellow sand worms
Pleased to devour my flesh

Unnoticed, I will leave this life
And give myself over to darkness
Black beetles on thorn bushes
Drunk on my blood

On what mountain
Will my strong body lie?
On what day
Will my singing voice break?


The video portion is completely dark, but it's all about the music anyway. I was stranded in a rather desolate place for a while yesterday, and the experience (not to mention an exchange of comments with @MrVisions ) put me in mind of this song.

If you're not familiar with Tuvan throat-singing - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuvan_throat_singing

These guys are masters.
