Tibetan Song Yadon Kunga Tsewang and Gangshuk

[@namook1965]

I have listened to songs in Hindi, English, Russian, Mongolian, Japanese. But nothing is as uplifting as hearing a modern song in my own mother tongue - precious Tibetan. bod rangzen!!

[@LAYGPOT]

This is why we should never give up our fight for our rights. Our brothers and sisters in Tibet have not!

[@MangraWa]

This song is not banned since it is nothing of political matters. It is just a pure manifestation of love for Tibet.

[@LAYGPOT]

They are national treasures, not just heroes. When we go back to our country, we should award them some sort of Gold Medal for service to our nation. What do you think?

[@LAYGPOT]

Bonpa10, are you Tibetan? If you are still with Yadong, Kunga, Tashi Nyima and other Tibetan singers, please tell them that Tibetans outside admire their talents, feel grateful for contribution to our music culture, respect them for their national pride and patriotism and love them as our brothers and sisters. Please do thank them for their gift of music, which we can enjoy with pride in foreign lands.

[@LAYGPOT]

This song is for all Tibetans. We all admire the bravery of these brothers from Kham.

[@Bodpa2024]

I sit here with tears in my eyes, longing to return to my motherland. Hearing this song by 4 proud Tibetans, I long for a day when Tibetans can reunite.

[@namook1965]

To the 4 talented, courageous and handsome singers, Yours is a musically perfect song. An inspiring and a courageous song politically. Perfect score in all aspects!! You display the true spirit of the descendants of the only organization which fought for Tibet 50+ years ago risking their lives! My immense love and respect to you all.

Mentally Return (Translation by High Peaks Pure Earth) Lyrics: Drug Gyal Tune: Tashi Dorje Singers: Yadong, Gangzhung, Kunga and Tsewang Director: Tharchin Dancers: Qinghai Nationalities Dance Troupe Its snow-capped mountains are the heavenly ramparts Its pure blue rivers are the shimmering ornaments of the sun and the moon Its vast meadows and pastures are the beds of the stars This holy land situated close to zenith of the sky This bountiful land on the roof of the world Are these are our fatherland, the Land of Snows! Oh Great Mother, the Land of Snows I've come for the cosy warmth of your loving care And today I sing a song in your lap Oh great Mother, the Land of Snows This is a song of auspiciousness taught by you This is a gift for having traversed across my fatherland! The six migratory beings are our kind parents Non-violence and peace are our mental wealth Bravery, wisdom and heroism are the strength of our heart The nationality who inhabit this Land of Snows The first people to settle here and exercise ownership Are us, the ruddy faced Tibetans of the Land of Snows Oh Tibetan brothers and sisters We've come missing your profound love and friendship Today, in your presence we dance in joy! Oh Tibetan brothers and sisters This is the circle dance of unity taught by you This is a gift to celebrate the reunion of brethrens Oh Tibetan brothers and sisters Oh Tibetan brothers and sisters This is the circle dance of unity taught by you This is a gift to celebrate the reunion of brethrens This is a gift to celebrate the reunion of brethrens This is a gift to celebrate the reunion of brethren

[@sylviakiralyno]

I love the Tibetan people, and this is the music I love it. The Tibetan culture is beautiful, and history is great. I'm Hungarian, but I know, my destiny says go to Tibet. I want to see big mountains.

[@Bodpa2024]

I hear the snow-capped mountains calling all Tibetans, I hear the snow-lions roaring for us to unite. Truth and faith on our side, we will triumph over evil. It is this generation, who'll come over mere differences such as Cholka and chol-look. It is my generation that'll reunite all the provinces, and get our country back! Bhoe-gyallo!

[@purespirit9]

I love Yadon & Kunga's songs and I've yet to discover who the other two Artistes are. Great voices in all four men. May God Bless them all for the sake of Tibet. Their songs keeps Tibet strong in traditionals.

[@jonnyboy8143]

Ya dong was my hero. Still my water is good hand.

[@namook1965]

listening after a long time. brings tear to my eyes

[@jigmesamdrup4058]

I jigme always get tears in my eyes when I listen to this song. It has some amazing lyrics: The wandering heart has tripped at the door of destination; Boats that have sunk just when kissed by the shore; Yadong my hero and Kinga Tsewang and Gangshuk too,

[@sonamyangzom9224]

jigme samdrup same here, my favourite song

[@namook1965]

Yadon, Wonderful job! You are a great singer. I heard you taught Kunga, Tsewang and Gangshuk. Achievement of the pupil is an indicator of the teacher's greatness. What an achievement!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart

[@elophrya]

Beautiful!!!! This song touches me in a profound way. Just came back from Tibet and having withdrawal symptoms. Beautiful, noble people, amazing culture, you can't go there and return untouched.

[@rinzinchoeyang1400]

I used to listen this song since 2007.still my fav song....2020

[@namook1965]

Kangchenpa, YOU WIN. What you say is right. Let us now enjoy the music, shall we.

[@tenchoephelus]

man this song is great. i never seen such a combination and it has all my favourite artists. i love it. thanks jigdo

[@Tendagami]

This song is awesome and inspiring patriotic song. We should sing this in front of Chinese embassy during 10 march.

[@MangraWa]

Don't worry, they have never been imprisoned. They are as fine as usual, and this song hasn't created any problems for anyone since it's nothing political.

[@sonamtsering8155]

After long time listening.this song. Feel got before at concert....

[@tenzinlungrik7865]

Amezing singer and amezing song music & Beats 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Jingdiwangtian]

antichinaforever, If you refers the Chamdo battle at 10/7/1950, you can look for Tsering Shakya's book for reference. Tibetan troops were surrounded and gave up very quick. About 180 Tibetans causulties (killed and wounded), and 5738 being captured and let go back to their home with handed money for travel expenses. More

[@namook1965]

1. Antichinaforever Cho demo? (means how are you?) I am glad you like reading my comments. I too like reading comments and listening to Tibetan music. Considering the environment we live in (having to live a life surrounded by non-Tibetan people), I think certain degree of assimilation is inevitable. What is important is for us to always remember who we are in our heart of hearts. Continued.....

[@MT-ks7fd]

Goosebump wen yadong comes out wit ohoo... damn gud memories

[@Tendagami]

This songs really provoke my spirit to rise as Tibetan and to feel the great sadness as Chinese are trying to wipe it out.

[@namook1965]

Antichinaforever, yig len nang ne thukjeche. Khye kyi sung wa de denpa re. Mi serkhen de, rangla meiba de yoena sam, rangla yoed pa de i ringthang (value) mathong.

[@Khawachen]

SUPERB! Inspiring and sentimental ! Four awesome Tibetan singers on one platform singing about Tibet. Yes, let us celebrate our heritage and native spirits. Yes, let us pride ourselves to be Gangchenpas !!!

[@seerpo]

What an inspirational song!! Great song and wonderful lyrics. Keep it up!!

[@muscledpeanut]

Awesome ❤ goosebumps

[@qjudgs]

Thanks so much from Japan for uploading this video !!!

[@namook1965]

dear tearsofthesnowlion I understand your sentiment. But let us not fight among ourselves. I would like to believe that there is no Tibetan whose heart does not beat for Tibet. For some it might not be convenient to be overtly pro-Tibet. They might be contributing things for Tibet that no other Tibetans can do. Please remember that you are not alone. We appreciate your efforts. Let us all do the best we can. Love and respect to you TEARSofTHEsnowlion

[@jigdo]

Tenbhu! Thanks for the nice translation of this Song.

[@namook1965]

2. Antichinafoever, Knowing who we are and taking pride in our identity is important not only to keep Tibet alive but also for our own mental health as individuals. When people forget who they are, or when they are ashamed of who they are, there is the risk of developing identity crisis and different types of personality disorders. As you seem happy in your identity as a Tibetan, there is no need to be ashamed of being assimilated. We all are to some degree and it is inevitable.

[@kalsangdolmaa]

i give 5 stars to this song, this music, n of course, these great guys/ tashi

[@sylviakiralyno]

That's wonderful, brilliant! I wish I could once I reach Tibet, but remains only a dream.

[@sonamyangzom9224]

I just tear up when i listen to this song. 😰😰

[@TEDTOPGUY]

unity, united and unification......Tibet.......

[@jigdo]

Check out the video response. Its also very touching, amazing words sung by Dolmachab.

[@Lolotsang]

This song refresh my childhood memories.. #loveit

[@bellalaury3540]

i loved this song..... free tibet

[@namook1965]

Hi Jigdo, Thank you for all your postings. Information is a powerful tool and posting lates information is a great contribution. Love and respect to you. I know it is no mean feat to do what you are doing. My love and respect to you.

[@svadharma5009]

what a powerful song !!!

[@fairylove1]

Please give peace a chance!!

[@smoenbook]

You guys ROCKKKKK...My all time fav....great job. Greeting from USA

[@LAYGPOT]

Bravo...my Khampa brothers!

[@namook1965]

Exactly. What a bliss it would be to hear them live, to feel the atmosphere and the emotions of fellow Tibetan around you!! Snowlionz, I envy you. Does this kind of concert take place often? When did this take place? When is the next one scheduled? Sorry for the 3 questions in a row.

[@rLamaTamu]

love this song so much

[@tendar6666]

You rock the stage....

[@tsheringchoden92]

This song is best thanks all of you

[@Jingdiwangtian]

During Kanding Rebellion, the worst was at Changtreng Sampheling where hundreds of monks and laymen were killed. Even the 1959 Lhasa fighting was in very small scale. You can check Shakya's book for that. If you think the real number is more than Kangchenpa's, you are out of your mind. Most of Tibetan historians don't take that number.

[@jigdo]

Thanks for all these information..

[@sodnamla]

I like this a lot. Good job

[@sylviakiralyno]

Thanks, Himalayanbhu! Kham my dream of traveling to Tibet .. .. I hope soon, perhaps in November. :) I wish you all the best, good luck! Tashi delek!

[@frankwong8785]

我们藏族和蒙古族的兄弟姐妹最能歌善舞。

[@limadu671]

great song

[@namook1965]

Thank you very much. Can I be friends with you? I know I am almost you mother's age, but the way you have rendered the English translation of the Tibetan lyric speaks of your creativeness and intelligence. I value that highly in any individual, especially in men.

[@namook1965]

Hi antichinaforever, Ganchenpa is resting a bit. I am sure he will start writing again. It is not only you, we others read his comments too and are thankful to him for spending so much time writing in defense of Tibet.

[@milvipes]

Should be the anthem of Tibet, whether it go independent or not.

[@petagonkyi]

+Henry Yeh This is more appropriate as National Anthem of Tibet than the present one which is more like a Buddhist prayer.

[@TseringYoudon-j5m]

🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️🌺🌺🌺🌼🌼🌼🌸🌈🙏

[@namook1965]

Hi Bonpa, I envy you for having me the great singers!

[@zeko543]

lovely

[@Bodpa2024]

When I see posts about Khampa, Amdowa, U-tsangwa, it just shows that some of you commentators are clueless about the essence of the lyrics from many of the songs that come out of Tibet. As much as we enjoy the songs, we need to be able to analyze the lyrics and implement them in our daily lives. THINK, my friends, THINK!

[@namook1965]

@rewapotara　私も始めて歌詞を聞いて感動の涙が出ました。

[@namook1965]

Tibetans in TAR and neighbouring provinces would not risk their lives to rise up against the Chinese if they are as happy and satisfied as some of the Chinese on the youtube want us to believe. Instead of posting hate mails here, the Chinese should ask their government to lend a sincere ear to the grievances of the Tibetans. Mutual understanding and respect is the only solution going forth and it is the Chinese government and Chinese people who have the power to bring about that change.

I like good singers get-together

[@namook1965]

see the video description on top right of this screen. Jigdo's full translation of the song into English is there.

[@jigdo]

I have the translation of this song on my right side under about the video...

[@namook1965]

I think what he is trying to do is to tell everyone that Namkha is in prison for singing Tibetan independence songs. He is not saying that every singer is in prison.

[@Nikita-rr7sx]

Я вне политики я люблю музыку

[@namook1965]

Yes this music lifts my soul heavenwards and gives limitless freedom. Love you Gunga, tsewang, Yadon a Gangshuk. By the power you sway over us mortals, I designate you as modern day gesar, dema, shenma, gyasa etc, the heroes of Ling. My dema,shema,jasa, And if you need a couple of Ling beauties, just let me know. I can fetch them at a stroke

[@purespirit9]

Thx My friend ikhamo, I'll check it out. Btw how's it going? TTYL Ciao!

[@namook1965]

Kangchenpa, So do you plan to take any concrete steps to improve our (Tibetan) situation other than writing endless comments?

[@tenzinyangzom7585]

Hi, where can I get only track please.

[@tenztender9457]

amazing song... whats the actual name of this song? would love to download the official song.

[@sodnamla]

Who can help me to get this song of DVD or VCD? Please help me. I'll give to you my address

[@Bodpa2024]

I hear you Bonpa. My apologies. Didn't mean any harm there. Motherland or fatherland, Tibet is our land afterall. Thanks for the correction anyway. ;)

[@dorjigyatso3478]

Wow I am going to mad

[@noteh1]

Does anyone know where/ when this was filmed?It would be amazing to go to this festival

[@LAYGPOT]

Is that a Chenrezig statue at the back of the stage? Wonder who that represents?

[@tenzinlungrik7865]

What is the song name?

[@namook1965]

Dhutse, It is likely that your comments will appear as a series of dots on many people's computer. Thus, could you put an English comment below the original comment (I guess it is in Boedyig)as well? Thanks

[@multitse]

can somebody translate whole song pleaseeeeeeee........!

[@LAYGPOT]

All Tibetans adore Kunga and Yadong. Can we play down the regionalism a bit? Regionalism and sectarianisn has reduced all Tibetans to their current plight.

[@jigdo]

AP[Friday, April 04, 2008 21:51] By CHRISTOPHER BODEEN BEIJING - New violence has broken out in a volatile Tibetan region of western China, leaving eight people dead, an overseas Tibet activist group said Friday. China's official Xinhua News Agency said a government official was seriously injured. The London-based Free Tibet Campaign said police opened fire on hundreds of Buddhist monks & lay people who had marched on local government offices to.....

[@thunderboy23]

China has done great jobs for preserving Tibetan tradition and cultures. So there's no need for Tibet to become independent.

[@peldendrukpa]

Great Song. Jigdo, how do you add the English translation of lyrics as in this video??

[@namook1965]

how do you mean?

[@sapphire830love]

Can you email this song to me

[@jigdo]

Yes sure they can sing.. but i think they will not get visas...

[@namook1965]

No one is barking. May be you are too sensitive. If you can't bear it, go some place else.

[@LAYGPOT]

Just a word of caution. We have to be careful what we write here. What our brothers and sisters in Tibet call "Chankyi" might visit these sites. This applies to me also!

[@namook1965]

the chinese firms are making the music not for preserving Tibetan culture, but for their own profit. Why aren't there Tibetan firms that can make MTV? There aren't because Tibetans are not given the opportunity to learn such skills. Even if they have such skills (which is very unlikely), they don't have the capital to start such a firm. This is the result of China's descriminatory policy towards Tibetan.

[@LAYGPOT]

The song is in Tibetan, not Chinese. Do you understand what they are singing about? The government would go berserk if they find out!

[@banstangngawang4864]

😂😂 haha.at 2:06. Blue shirt acha hide Chiness red flag..

[@namook1965]

One of my friends is in Lhasa now. His email of the March 13th said that there is restriciton of movement in Lhasa. On the 15th he said there was a massive protest on the 14th. Most of the windows of the hotel is shattered. Tourists are confined to their hotel, he doesnst know the extent of the damage. He cant access any news in Japanese or Eng & asked me to update him on the true picture. From the noise and commotion & from what he saw out the hotel window, he fears 4 the worst 4 Tibetans.
