Modun's Song - Epic Turkic Music

Music & vocals by Farya Faraji. Please note that this isn't reconstructed Turkic music of the time period, only modern music using various influences from diverse Turkic cultures, as well as Chinese and Mongolian influence given the subject matter. This is a song I composed using the texts provided by the excellent I Love Languages channel for the language Proto-Turkic, the reconstructed common ancestor of all Turkic languages spoken before 500 B.C. This ballad about Modun is effectively the continuation to my ballad on Touman, who was his father. Modun was a renowned chieftain and leader of the Xiongnu, who came to power after killing his father, and he waged war against the Han dynasty of China.

Lyrics in Proto-Turkic:
Mao-tunnun ogey anasi Tabgaclig erti.
Ögey anasi Mao-tunnu sebmer erti.

Mao-tun Ögey inisini utdu, bödke olturtu.
Mao-tunta nence bala bar (turur)?/
Mao-tunta bir bala bar (turur).

Jiyu atasi Mao-tunka kömek etgen ebe ogul turur.
Tou-man törunün örünten ciksar ogulunu öltürmek küseti.
Ogulu Mao-tun ani öltürtü.

Mao-tun Dong-hu, Yue -chi,
Han yagifi birle bolgan sünülürünü yenti.

English translation:
Modun's stepmother was Chinese.
His stepmother didn't love Modun.

Modun won his little stepbrother and sit the throne.
How many children does Modun have?
Modun has one child.

Jiyu was a good son who help his father Modun.
Touman wanted to violate the custom and kill his son.

His son Modun killed him.
Modun defeated his battles with Donghu, Yuechi and Han enemies.
