Jelme (Mongolian: Зэлмэ, Zelme, c.1160 - ?) was a general and close companion of Genghis Khan. He was the older brother of Subutai and was of the Uriankhan clan. Jelme was appointed as leader of a Mingghan, or one thousand men.
In The Secret History of the Mongols, Jelme is chronicled as having been given to Temujin when the latter was an infant, but was deemed too young, and sent back with his father. Jelme's father Jarchiudai again gives his son to Temujin when Temujin was meeting with the Wang Khan. The reason for Jelme's having been given to Genghis is unclear.
When Temujin is wounded by an arrow to the neck by his future general Jebe, Jelme saves his life by sucking the poisoned blood out. He further brings Temujin watered yoghurt (after failing to find milk) from the enemy's camp.
Jelme's worth to Genghis is exemplified by one of Genghis's proclamations, where Jelme is granted immunity from prosecution even if he commits nine crimes.
Uh yeah... Uh yeah...
I'd go the distance even though you seem so far
Days of confusion just tell me who you are
I sit alone at night
When I could be with you
And it could be so right Baby it's up to you
You know it's true yeah
Uh yeah... Uh yeah...
Do you remember the scent of my perfume
Illuminating your love against the moon
I see it clearly now
I'm caught in a landslide
And there's just one way out
There's nothing I can do
You know it's true
Whenever you're near me
When ever you call
My heart beats a message
The writing's on the wall
And if God still makes angels
Than that says it all
Cause whenever you're near me hey hey
No matter where you are
The distance is no (obstacle I'm landing to you)
No matter who you are
Say you're my only (devotion)
You're falling from the stars
You're my only (constellation)
You read my soul
The book is my heart
And it leads to a stand
Where your body's the start
Uh yeah... Uh yeah...
You read my heart
You read my soul
Whenever you call
Whenever you're near me
You read my heart
You read my soul
Whenever you call
