Tooruktug Dolgay Tangdym (Tuvan: Тооруктуг долгай таңдым, The Forest Is Full of Pine Nuts; Russian: Лес, полный кедровых орехов; also translated as "The Forest is Full of Cedar Nuts" or "The Taiga is Full of Cedar Nuts") is an old Tuvan folk song that became the official anthem of the Republic of Tuva, Russia.[1] On August 11, 2011, it was replaced by a new anthem titled Men - Tyva Men.
The song expresses the Tuvan belief that a person who takes care of his environment, his livestock, and the plentiful taiga will want for nothing. It refers to Tangdy, or the Tannu-Ola mountains, a mountain range in southern Tuva that is revered by the Tuvan people. The name of the mountain range is incorporated into "Tannu-Tuva," the popular name for the Tuvan People's Republic.[2]

Russian
- Когда я гуляю в своих лесах,
- я всегда доволен -
- ведь мои леса богаты
- животными и всем, что мне нужно.
- Там, среди гор,
- скал, тайги, родился я.
- Вот почему я так силен.
- Я буду выращивать свой домашний скот
- и стану богатым.
- Девять различных животных – Если я буду
- пасти их и кормить
- и позабочусь о них, как о своих,
- Я стану богат.
English translation
- When I walk in my forest
- I will always be satisfied
- Because my forest is rich with
- animals and everything I need.
- There in the mountains, the
- cliffs, the taiga, I was born.
- Because of that I am strong.
- I will raise my livestock
- and be rich.
- Nine different animals – If I herd
- them and feed them
- And take care of them as my
- own – I'll be rich.
