Lyrics Hubi Meisel - Merdeka

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
