Wu Lan Ba Tuo De Ye(Night in Ulaanbaatar) (Mongolian: Улаанбаатарын үдэш) is one of Mongolia's most iconic folk classics. Written by Mongolian poet P. Sanduyjav and composed by G. Pürevdorj, the song was first performed by the Mongolian band "Smile Band" in 1985 and released on their eponymous album. Since its creation, its distant, serene melody and profound cultural resonance have transcended languages and borders, making it a timeless musical symbol across East Asia.
The song has been reinterpreted in diverse styles by numerous artists, including Dan Zheng and his mother, Jiangyang Zhuoma, Hanggai Band, Zuo Xiaozuozhou, Tan Weiwei, and Jiang Dunhao. It serves not only as a "national anthem" of Mongolia but also as a symbol of steppe culture, conveying deep attachment to homeland, nature, and kinship. Through its widespread dissemination in Chinese, it has evolved into a cross-ethnic emotional vessel, particularly embodying themes of "nostalgia", "longing" and "reconciliation".
Night in Ulaanbaatar bridges linguistic divides, acting as a musical link between grasslands and cities, tradition and modernity. Its enduring popularity lies in its poetic melody, which addresses universal human emotions—whether the starry skies of the steppe or the city lights, everyone harbors a personal "Night in Ulaanbaatar" in their heart.
The sheet music for this piece is based on Dan Zheng and his mother's rendition. The original key is E♭, and it can be played on a B♭-toned dizi (Chinese bamboo flute) by using the closed tone as 2.
