  • Very interesting song.. I need to get myself the bollywood movies. Seems they got some of the interesting stuff going..

  • it is a great song, not from bollywood tho. this is from Tibet.

  • A white gal singing tibetan song? That's "cultural genocide", right?? Dalai Lama??

  • No, I just think its nice that a non-tibetan is taking interest in Tibetan culture. She is quite the ethnomusicologist

  • Uncle Pema

    By Palgon (original in Tibetan)

    Sometimes interpreted as a metaphor for the Dalai Lama

    Oh Uncle Pema!

    Oh mighty Eagle adorned with a conch-white stripe!

    If you soar up heavenwards, you adorn the azure sky,

    If you descend earthwards, you gladden the craggy mountains.

    And, your absence makes the craggy ledges bereft of any life!

    ...

see all

  • ... Oh Uncle Pema! Duck with the golden rosary If you fly out of the water, you adorn the meadows, If you swim in the water, you gladden the waters spirits And, your absence makes the lake bereft of life and spirit! Oh Uncle Pema! Oh handsome Youth, adorned with conch-white teeth like a tiger! If you go [a]way, you are a credit to your fellow townsfolk, and If you come this way, you are a star amongst your peers. And, your absence makes my heart bereft of love and meaning!
