Wikipedia article
The 'national anthem of Mongolia' (, ), known before 1991 as the 'state anthem of the Mongolian People's Republic', was created in 1950 with music composed by Bilegiin Damdinsren and Luvsanjambyn Mrdorj and lyrics written by Tsendiin Damdinsren.
History
Since the early 20th century, Mongolia has had two national anthems: the first, used between 1924 and 1950, was called the "Mongol Internationale", with words by Sonombaljiryn Buyannemekh and music by Magsarjavyn Dugarjav. It is often incorrectly listed as the Mongolian-language version of "The Internationale", despite the two songs having almost nothing in common aside from similar names. "The Internationale" does have a Mongolian version, however, which should not be confused with the "Mongol Internationale".
The second anthem, by Damdinsren and Mrdorj, replaced the "Mongol Internationale" and has been in use since 1950. The lyrics were changed slightly in 1961 to include references to the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party and remove references to various Soviet and Mongolian leaders; however, the original lyrics were restored in early 1991, a year prior to the end of the Mongolian People's Republic. Since 1991, most of the lyrics from 1950 are in use again, but the second verse (praising Lenin, Stalin, Skhbaatar and Choibalsan) has been removed. On 6 July 2006, the lyrics were revised by the Mongolian Parliament to commemorate Genghis Khan.
The current constitution of Mongolia mandates that the national anthem be broadcast daily on media channels prior to the end of transmissions.

May all of the world's good deeds
Prosper and continue for eternity.

With all righteous countries of the world.
And let us develop our beloved Mongolia
With all our will and might.

Our great nation's symbol blesses us
And the people's fate supports us
Let us pass on our ancestry, culture and language
From generation to generation.
The brilliant people of the brave Mongolia
Have gained freedom and happiness,
The key to delight, and the path to progress.
Majestic Mongolia our country, live forever.

The struggle and oppression of the past is gone,
The peoples' rights and happiness have come.
For by the faith and courage of all,
The People's Republic now stands.
Beautiful Mongolia, a majestic country,
A just, prosperous and vast nation.
May it forever cherish and prosper,
May it forever be strong and wealthy.
'II'
The Party's light shines in the distance,
Building us up into a strong nation.
Entrusted with unwavering diligence,
Selflessly we will carry on the historic battle.
'III'
Together with the Soviet Union our bold faith
The fruits of a progressive people beareth.
We are firm to carry on with loyalty
Onto glorious communism's way bravely.
