Back again, on the New Year’s Day Where Gampo once had tossed his ring A wind of change moves Jokhang’s temple walls Demonstration ‘round Dongchen
The atmosphere is so intense Pavilions lit by butter lamps Revolution on Barkhor Anticipation in their eyes
And they hand out the amulet To the occupying force As he wears the silver charm With all his heart he cries Tranquility can heal their wounds “Hope springs eternal”
Wouldn’t it be wonderful If Tang and Tubo’s pledge could win?
The old town celebrates – solemnity Anticipation in their minds Tashi Delek – equality Let’s celebrate respect and trust
