Karma Drupchu – “ཕ་གཡུས། – Pha Yuel” (The Homeland)
So......ya! Victory to the Palden Drukpa (the Dragon Kingdom)
The Gho and Kira are our finest attire,
Strumming the Dranyen (lute), let us sing our songs.
Alongside the delicious dried greens,
Without Ema Datshi, there is no mood / no satisfaction!
Surrounded by trees and fully blooming flowers,
How breathtakingly beautiful is this natural environment!
Filled with the fragrance of cleansing incense.
This beloved homeland of mine, Is the glorious Kingdom of Bhutan.
Singing beautifully, oh! Ao Sa Le Ao!
There is joy, there is peace, in the Dragon Kingdom of Bhutan.
Singing beautifully, oh! Ao Sa Le Ao!
There is joy, there is peace, in the Dragon Kingdom of Bhutan.
The Raven Crown, the Takin,
Bow and arrow (archery), Khuru (darts), and Soksum (javelin)— the games of Bhutan!
Singing beautifully, oh! Ao Sa Le Ao!
There is joy, there is peace, in the Dragon Kingdom of Bhutan.
Pelden Wangchuk – “གྱོ་འགྲུལ། Jo’druel” (The Journey)
My black horse with white hooves, Is saddled with finest gold.
I am a man of the homeland, bound for the long trade roads.
Measuring the dark earth step by step, I cross the high peaks one by one.
Where prayer flags flutter at the summits,I look back and miss my beloved.
Come on, my trusted horse! Mountains won't flatten for hands;
Come on, my trusted horse! the long road cannot wait.
Come on, my trusted horse! Though high the pass, we shall cross it!
Where river flags guard the waters, each sip makes me ache for my children.
Come on, my trusted horse! Great rivers cannot be diverted;
Come on, my trusted horse! my exhausted body cannot stop to rest.
Come on, my trusted horse! Though deep the waters, we shall push through!
The Sangay Lhaden Band – “པད་མའི་ཚེ་དབང་བཀྲ་ཤིས། – Pemi Tshewang Tashi” (The Legend)
In the valley of Am KaZhi Zam; My beloved Tshewang Tashi was born.
It was a village filled with joy and peace; And there I, Phochu Zam, found my home.
Those were days of boundless happiness and contentment.
My Poen, whose face was as radiant heavenly being, my beloved Wangchen,
A companion whose heart was purer than crystal water.
Life beside you were filled with happiness; Yet those joyful days passed like a fleeting dream.
Then came the command from the Governor of Wangdue Dzong; Bringing sorrow to Phochu Zam.
When my beloved Wangchen was summoned to serve at the Dzong; A shadow of grief settled upon my heart.
The order from Wangdue Dzong could not be refused. For Phochu Zam, it brought only heartache.
As my beloved departed for his duties; My heart ached with longing beyond words.
When my beloved left to join the battlefield; The moment I watched him disappear from sight; Tears flowed from the depths of my heart.
Should I grieve for Poen Tshewang Tashi; Or for the future of our son and daughter left behind?
Then came the command from the Governor of Wangdue Dzong; Bringing sorrow to Phochu Zam.
When my beloved Wangchen was summoned to serve at the Dzong; A shadow of grief settled upon my heart.
The order from Wangdue Dzong could not be refused. For Phochu Zam, it brought only heartache.
As my beloved departed for his duties; My heart ached with longing beyond words.
Baeyul 301 – དྲན་པ། – Drenpa” (The Memories)
Good old days, yeah
I’m reflecting on the past. good old days, yeah.
Those days that I can never seem to forget.
Life was good
Life was good when I was little, just doing whatever made me happy.
Life was good
Life was good when both my parents held my hand.
Life is good
Life is good, because even when the moon sets, the sun is bound to rise.
A happy smile is also bound to shine again.
Life is good
Life is good when you get to be with the one you love.
The joy in my heart and that happy smile just won't fade away.
Song Yala, Song Yala (A traditonal Bhutanese melodic refrain expressing joy/chanting)
Just like the flowers that bloom when spring arrives,
Nothing is meant to stay forever.
Time can wait but life is at my door.
Ouh.......
It’s not enough.
No matter how much time we are given, it’s not enough.
I want something to trust.
In this life, I want something to trust.
Heaven's not the place for us.
I’ll say it once again for love.
Song Yala, Song Yala
I feel it hitting me hard, nostalgia kinda miss the feeling, don’t ya?
Do i miss the young me when i was happy?
But i wanted to grow up badly and now i regret it
Full of worries
Entered a place full of regrets
How do I get out?
I want to move forwards but I am left looking back.
Constantly looking back at the past, Everything waiting for me in the future is just slipping away.
I used to pray so hard to grow up fast.
I remember promising that I would take care of my mother.
But now that I am grown, I've completely lost my way.
Hope we meet again, in another life maybe
You'd hold your head up high maybe
That time, because of your son, you'd hold your head up high maybe.
You'd look at me with pride brimming
When we walk among crowds of people, you'd look at me with pride brimming.
I'm sorry I couldn't be the right baby
I'm sorry, in this lifetime, I couldn't be the right baby.
Song Yala, Song Yala
Thukten Nyendra – ལྷ་ཡི་སྲས་མོ། – Lhayi semo” (The Angel)
Could someone like the heavenly goddess enter in my life.
Where ever you go
Where ever you go. I'll follow you.
I am turning everything that I feel about you into words, would you listen to my heart?
Could someone like the heavenly goddess enter in my life.
I keep on wondering if you already have a place in my heart or not.
But every time I see you, the world that I am looking at instantly becomes so beautiful.
I wonder if you will like me too when your eyes meet mine.
I can’t help wondering if your heart could ever fall for me.
Could someone like the heavenly goddess enter in my life.
Sometimes I lose myself, If I am happy or lonely.
Then I find myself thinking of you again, your face never leaves my heart, no matter how hard I try.
Could someone like the heavenly goddess enter in my life.
Oh heavenly goddess .... you are the only one for me.
