"So, Mongolians sing for themselves, not for others," says Buhe, who has experienced the life of herding in the grasslands. The songs of the steppes are genuinely lonely: old shepherds chant traditional long songs that have no words, distantly echoing across the grassy plains the single phrase "lonely."
「所以，蒙古人唱歌是唱給自己聽的，不是為別人唱的」，親嘗過草原放牧的生活，布和說，真正屬於草原的歌是寂寞的，老牧人吟哦著沒有歌詞的傳統長調歌曲，悠悠遠遠地在草原上低迴，訴說的僅是「寂寞」二字。
