Abstract
The article offers a translation from Buryat into Russian of the folklore materials collected by the ethnographer S. P. Baldaev during his expedition to the Olkhon region in 1962. The source base for the study is case No. 616 on 18 pages from the fund No. 36 “Folklore of the Olkhon Buryats (songs, legends)”. Of interest are the songs that reveal the traditional way of life of the Olkhon Buryats. The novelty of the study is due to the low level of knowledge of the original folklore of the Olkhon Buryats, which is a significant part of the heritage of S. P. Baldaev, who has not yet become the object of a special study. The purpose of the article is to introduce the folklore of the Olkhon Buryats of the specified fund into scientific circulation through translation of texts and their analysis. When translating, the established principles of scientific translation of folklore texts are applied, taking into account three main factors: language, content and context of the original. In other words, the authors tried to follow the original, avoiding unnecessarily adapting Buryat texts to the Russian language and not trying to achieve a beautiful artistic translation into literary Russian.
