<p>This is a song reflecting on the life, written by Stanzin Wangdan and sung by Gonbo Saspol in Ladakhi. Here is an English translation of the song translated by Dolma Dol. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Amidst the stormy new age, A gust of hasty dust arose. Before I realized the fleeting world, These three days of life have vanished.</p> <p>Sometimes in joy, sometimes in crying, I didn&#39;t realize how life has passed.</p> <p>The dramatic opera of life, Is filled with laughter and tears. I couldn’t understand this fantasy world, As the optical illusion of the eyes.</p> <p>Sometimes in joy, sometimes in crying, I didn&#39;t realize how life has passed.</p> <p>In the endless sky of desire, Although I spread my feathers for competition, I fail to understand That the trajectory of this trackless life Has vanished like billows of clouds.</p> <p>Sometimes in joy, sometimes in crying, I didn&#39;t realize how life has passed.</p> <p>Like the reflection of the moon in water, And the flickering light of the lamp, I failed to understand This illusory and impermanent life.</p> <p>Sometimes in joy, sometimes in crying, I didn&#39;t realize how life has passed.</p>
