Kargyraamny kagbas-la men

Тывалап бижээни

Каргыраамны кагбас-ла мен

Хапка суккаш астып аар мен

Хөөмейимни кагбас-ла мен

Хөмге суккаш чүктеп аар мен

Kargyraamny kagbas-la men

Khapka sukkash astyp aar men

Khöömejimni kagbas-la men

Khömge sukkash chüktep aar men

I will not abandon my kargyraa

I will carry it from my girdle, stuffed in a pouch

I will not abandon my khöömej

I will load it on my back, stuffed in a rawhide
