BLESSED ARE WE

Blessed are we, the sons of great ranges

and the wish fulfilling turquoise lakes,

spread across the distant horizon of snow clapped mountains

descend into a realms of south asian prairie.

Blessed are we, the sons of great kings

and the sages of great wisdoms and intellects,

who stretched and conquered to the furthest of its reach

accumulated prodigious knowledge adhere to Buddhism.

Blessed are we, the sons of Chenrezi, lord of compassion

and the boddhisatvas of all manifestations,

giving birth to MevuDhondrug1, an ancestral blood of Tibetan

strived to protect Tibet for centuries and hereafter.

Blessed are we, the sons of Cholkasum2

and the warriors of fearless and undying spirit,

blossomed with tranquility and peace

endeavor to safeguard the territory from intrusive evil forces.

Blessed are we, the sons of Yeshi Norbu3

and the chosen one with much affinity and care,

remain faithful to the sacred words of non violence

awaken to rise up for the freedom of Tibet.

Blessed are we, the sons of all countrymen

languishing in cells with the echoes of cries, bloods and tears

call upon justice and freedom to our fatherland

Shall break the chains of tyranny once and for all.

Blessed are we, the sons of new generation

Tibet, our country, so dear to our hearts,

Shall pledge to crumple the challenges we face

till the sun of freedom shines all over Tibet.

Wake Up! Wake Up! Wake Up!
