This song by a Mongolian group was shared on Facebook without attribution but when I looked down at my smart phone sitting on my desk in front of the computer monitor, there it displayed the group name, The Hu, and the title, The Wolf Totem. I found this video of it on YouTube with translation provided.

Thank you, my friend CPT Jack Durish for posting the music video of Mongolian group The Hu performing "The Wolf Totem."

Wolf Totem (Чонон сүлдэт) [Ирвээс] (English translation)
Artist: The HU (Ху)
Wolf Totem (The Wolf's Totem)
Versions: #1#2
"The lion is in a bloody battle to the death
The tiger overcomes the leopard in a match
The elephant thrashes the leopard in a contest
Man intensely struggles with a leopard to contend

We, the lions slaughter the leopards in a match
The tiger beats the leopard in a contest
The elephant trounces the leopard in a fight
Man strenuously strains with a leopard in contention

An instigator, the jealousy of a snake it could be
And Khan Garuda leaps up above into the air
A growl, the jealousy of a tiger it could be
The blue wolf comes too from far away

Hu - hu - hu - hu...
Hu - hu - hu - hu...

Provoked, the snow leopard competes with it's rivals

Ten thunderbolts strike at the same time
A hundred hearts energized in the thundering roar
Simultaneously a thousand colliding thunderbolts
And too, ten thousand lightning strikes in the heavens

Hu - hu - hu - hu...
Hu - hu - hu - hu...

This deluge is the leopard battling in a deadly fight
The surges of the leopard scuffling in competion
The awesome leopard swats, blows to overthrow
The glistening leopard slashes in the scramble

Hu - hu - hu - hu...
Hu - hu - hu - hu...

With the speed of the falcon advancing
The wolf's courage at times flaring up
The strength of horses hooves, their paces pounding
The mark of Genghis Khan, an overwhelming impression"

Thank you for mentioning me, my friend Lt Col Charlie Brown
