There have been migrations between seasons ever since life begins on earth.
For the succession of life, for the continuation of the world, animals, fish, and birds, living together with us, are all migrants
Migration, is the breath, is the rebirth of life
is how rhythm of energy among us flows
We are on the way
From Hulun Buir to the Qinghai Lake
Bringing music to cities, towns, and villages
We are witnessing grasslands disappearing,
mountains and rivers being sold out
Trucks of dogs, of cattle and lambs
We are not hunting, we are slaughtering
We do not miss or let go a single thing
yet we missed out
missed out so many chances
missed out the chance to live with all creatures
Because of us, our earth is wounded
Migratory birds fly to continue life
Migratory herdsmen move to continue the spinning of earth
Which direction are we migrating to?
Once our heart is lost, we cannot see the world
Our heart needs migrations
Be honest and introspect
return to our nature
Be a humble student of mother earth
Learn about life, learn about love
When we feel the pain, we can hear their shouts and feel their despair
We should wake up
Only when we wake up can we continue the hopes on earth
All things are living
Even a tiny drop of water has living creatures in it
¡V by Daiqing Tana, 2011
For thousands of years, pastoralists have been migrating throughout the year, praying for all spirits among heaven and earth.
After Daiqing Tana and HAYA¡¦s award-winning albums including¡§Wolf Totem¡¨ and ¡§Silent Sky,¡¨ Daiqing Tana and HAYA released their third album ¡§Migration¡¨ in 2011, and started their singing journey throughout Asia. With morin khuur, tanboer, khoomei, shaaman drum, and all the old chanting, Daiqing Tana, along with HAYA, sings out freedom and vast, crossing nations and boundaries to people all over the world. They continue their journey on the road, singing for the rootless people in the city, for pastoralists and farmers. The voice of Daiqing Tana is like the light in the dark and gloomy world, leading your way through sorrows and joys, awakening your power to rebuild a harmonious relationship with the world.
