A legend lies behind the song Daya Boor. Daya Boor's mother was related to the Great Khan Mongke. She was married to the head of the Beile Banner (today's East Ujimqin Banner, Xilingol League), and granted the title Fujin Furen. His senior wife did not have a son, so she poisoned Fujin Furen's son Daya Boor. Filled with grief and longing, Fuji Furen sang this song.
Atop Altung Hinggung Mountain,
My father's homeland Mengoljinghawsho
Emerges before my eyes.
At the foot of Altung Hinggung Mountain,
Ten year old Daya Boor, crying,
Appears before my eyes.
Atop Urdung Hinggung Mountain,
My father's homeland Mengoljinghawsho
Emerges before my eyes.
At the foot of Urdung Hinggung Mountain
Nine year old Daya Boor, crying,
Appears before my eyes.
