Tooruktug Dolgay Tangdym (Tuvan: Тооруктуг долгай таңдым, lit. 'The Forest is Full of Pine Nuts')[lower-alpha 1] is an old Tuvan folk song that became the national anthem of the Tuvan Autonomous Republic and later official regional anthem of the Republic of Tuva, Russia.[1] On 11 August 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]

Тооруктуг долгай таңдым
Долганзымза тодар-ла мен
Тос-ла чүзүн малымайны
Доруктурза байыыр-ла мен.

Эзириктиг ээр-ле таңдым
Эргилзимзе тодар-ла мен
Эрээн-шокар малымайны
Азыраза байыыр-ла мен.

Eziriktiƣ eer-le taᶇdьm
Ergilzimze todar-la men

Rough 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.
