The Song : Mother in my dream (梦中的额吉)

Hear once, never forget ...

Songs from the north China grasslands and big sky nature haven

Uudam is a 13 year old singer from Inner Mongolia. He reached the final of "China's Got Talent" in 2011. This traditional Mongolian folk song is dedicated to his mother whom he lost at 8 (he also lost his father when 10).

Do not pick such pretty flower
she does not want to leave her motherland
Dear mom you hold my hand
whisper about it's secret wishes
You are so far away, my mom
but you hold my hand in my dream

Blowing wind and sand covered my eyes
yet I want to hear from my mom
Where are you? My dear mom
Wish you would kiss me softly
You are so far away, my mom
but you kiss my cheek in my dream.

You want me as brave as an eagle in the sky
You make me strong like flowers in the wind
When I march forward with my head high
I know that you accompany at my side
My dear mom in distance
You hold me tight in my dream.

The Song : My Three Precious (吉祥三宝)

The composer and lyric writer is Bu Ren Ba Ya Er, who is a song writer, singer and an Inner Mongolian TV commentator. He composed the song as a birthday gift to his three-year old daughter. His daughter learned the ballad very quickly and the family began to sing it on various occasions. The inspiration came from his daughter’s fascination about life and nature - she would always ask many questions. It is a celebration of happy family life. This TV appearance is around ten years after the song first became a huge hit in China.

Daughter: Papa
Dad: Yeah
Daughter: Does the moon go home after the sun’s rising?
Dad: Oh, yep
Daughter: Then where is the sun after stars’ appearing?
Dad: Oh, in the sky
Daughter: But why can’t I find them?
Dad: Oh, they’ve all gone home
Chorus：The sun, the star and the moon, what a happy family they three are!

Daughter：Mama
Mum: Yeah
Daughter: When will the flowers bloom since the leaves are green?
Mum: Oh, in summer
Daughter: Can we pick the fruits since the flowers are red?
Mum: Oh, in autumn
Daughter: Will the seeds bud when they are planted?
Mum: Oh, they will grow
Chorus：The flower, the leaf and the fruit, what a happy family they three are!

Dad & Mum：Honey
Daughter: Yep
Dad & Mum：Papa is like the sun shining on Mama
Daughter: How about Mama
Dad & Mum：Mama is like the leaves holding up the flowers
Daughter: Then me
Dad & Mum：You are just like the budding seed
Daughter: Oh, yep
Chorus: What a happy family we three are!

Don’t get fooled again ! (message / music)

Please, wake up - and spread the word, before it is too late. War - bombs, death, unspeakable atrocities - depends on your acquiescence. If, there's another war, it's all over, for everyone; there will be no winners this time. War is burning flesh, skulls ruptured, and children screaming in pain, all dying in the name of supremacy. Fear those that desire supremacy. We can all see it coming. YOU need to stop this madness. Yes, YOU. The mad men can't do it without fooling you first. Don't be fooled again. If not immediately vaporized, one will be burned alive and shredded by flying glass and other debris. If still gasping for air, there follows 'nuclear winter' - no sunlight and starvation; a planet poisoned for many thousands of years. This is madness. Stop the madness. Life should be everywhere, in our galaxy, and beyond, but there's just silence. Need life always end that way ? Are we really going to end it all over skin color or some nonsense 'politics' ?? Even you 'hate China', do you love this world ??? Everything 'you know' is BS - just think about it - don't get hypnotized by 'democracy' and 'human rights' by those who crush them, everywhere, and really seek ultimate rule - it's the new branding for colonialism - don't be fooled - don't be fooled by distractions and words - open your eyes for a different view - we have a common humanity, deeper than any elite's spin - don't be fooled ... Don't be fooled again - the young deserve a chance to create a better world - say no, to divide and rule ... The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again ('meet the new war; same as the old wars' - great song) - please, don't blow up this world, don't blow down this life; it's all that we have; let's not go forever silent - no wipe-out ... awesome drumming ... Bonus films - drums by a young Sina ... The Surfaris - Wipe Out (with a cool dad) ... Pink Floyd - Time (featuring Sticky Hickey) - just wow - what a band ... Metallica - Nothing Else Matters - featuring the very talented young singer Jadyn Rylee (a beautiful love song) ... So close, no matter where we are. Nothing else matters. I can only say - don't get fooled again - don't be out of time. No more, hypnotized by lies. Don't get on your knees and pray; speak out; trust not what you believe - trust in who you are - our common humanity - don't get fooled - that's all that really matters ...
