Story Of Beautiful Prairie is My Home

When it comes to Inner Mongolia 内蒙古, many people can’t help but think of the song Beautiful Prairie is My Home. As soon as people hear the beautiful melody of Beautiful Prairie is My Home, everyone can’t help but think of Inner Mongolia.

In the 1970s, Beautiful Prairie is My Home, written by Huohua and composed by Alatengole, was born, and became popular in China after being sung by Dedema, a soloist of the Inner Mongolia Song and Dance Troupe.

In 1977, when composing lyrics for participating in a cultural performance, Huohua remembered the past of experiencing life in Inner Mongolia, and he wrote the first draft of the lyrics of Beautiful Prairie is My Home. Because it is prepared for the performance, the lyrics are relatively short; and due to the time of creation, there are also some political slogans in the lyrics.

After that, Huohua met the composer Alatanole, and the song was recomposed.

After listening to this song, an overseas Chinese suggested revising the lyrics and turning it into a song that purely praises his hometown and nature. When the famous lyricist Chen Xiaoguang 陈晓光 visited Huohua’s house, he also proposed to revise the lyrics appropriately, so that the song should not be too rigid in the background of the times, but try to show the beauty of nature and humanity of the grassland.

Alathenole was a musical genius. The beautiful Horqin grassland 科尔沁草原 is the cradle of his growth and the inexhaustible source of his musical inspiration.

When Huohua showed these lyrics to Alatengole, he felt the emotional resonance and felt that the grassland was as beautiful as it was written in the lyrics. The lyrics vividly depict the boundless beauty of the grassland. He grew up on the grassland, and when he looked at these lyrics, he seemed to see the industrious herdsmen working on that vast land. So he did not hesitate to compose music for it.

In more than 50 years of music creation, Alatengole has always integrated Mongolian music elements into his works. For the composition of this song, he also adopted the style of Mongolian folk music, but did not completely adopt the melody of folk songs. Huo Hua commented, “He is innovative in his creation and does not directly apply folk songs, so that his works not only highlight the national style, but also give a new atmosphere of the times.”

Chinese Lyrics

美丽的草原我的家

风吹绿草遍地花

彩蝶纷飞百鸟儿唱

一弯碧水映晚霞

骏马好似彩云朵

牛羊好似珍珠撒

啊牧羊姑娘放声唱

愉快的歌声满天涯

牧羊姑娘放声唱

愉快的歌声满天涯

English Translation

Beautiful Prairie my home
wind blowing green grass everywhere flowers
Butterflies are flying and birds are singing
A curved clear water reflects the sunset
Horses are like colorful clouds
Cattle and sheep are like pearls
Oh shepherdess sing
happy singing all over the world
shepherdess singing
happy singing all over the world
