Bumburjan (also Bumburjei) is a Mongol folk song well known among Kalmyks, Oirats and Khalkhas. The song was featured in the 1942 movie "Sukhbaatar". It is a humorous song about a certain boisterous and smart person called Bumburjei who runs into the ger of the singer after having thrown a bone to the dangerous guard dog in order to distract it. The song is known over a large area, ranging from eastern Europe (Kalmykia) to Mongolia. It is also sung by the Oirats in Xinjiang, China.[1] Given its popularity among the Kalmyks in Europe, the song might date to at least the early 17th century, when the Kalmyks had not yet migrated to Europe.
