“The Four-Year-Old Bay Horse” | Barga Mongolian Long Song

“The Four-Year-Old Bay Horse” | Barga Mongolian Long Song This song was born in exile, at a moment when home lay close at hand, yet remained impossible to reach. Legend tells of Sereeter, a long-song singer of the Chechen Khan tribe, who was forced to live far from his homeland for many years. During a great drought, the people migrated once more and he saw the familiar grassland again. The rivers were still flowing, the wind still moving— only he himself was kept outside the boundary by fate. Unable to return, unable to reunite, all these emotions were pressed into four simple lines of melody: slow, vast, and forever out of reach. My mother once told me she heard this song sung by elders when she was still a teenager. As the melody begins, memories rise with the wind. It has been passed down from generation to generation, because in every heart, there is a homeland that can never be returned to.
