ode to king and queen, inspirational, sensational event, royalty
Your Majesty and Ashi Jetsun Pema!
As you dance in the hearts of the Bhutanese
The heavens declare your profound glory
And the gods in the temples salute you…
The spirits of our ancestors awaken
The winds serenade your joyful union
The rivers and streams nourish you
The sky canopy blesses you
The snowy peaks are the witnesses
A dynasty of priceless jewels
Of kings who ruled with their hearts
Gross national happiness pervades
Faces that reflect idealistic gratitude
We are truly overwhelmed
And sometimes feel the unreality
Of a fantasy filled dream
May you two be nobly blessed
With mighty inspired little jewels-
And may the dynasty  grow
From strength to strength
From power to power
And may the Bhutanese be  blessed
Across time, across the centuries
And the millennia…
Stalwart, dynamic, dedicated king
Of infinite power and grace
Eloquent speaker, wise statesman…
As the earth infinitely revolves
And the wheel substantially turns
A resurgence of hopes and dreams
Revives our pristine glory
As we forget mundane tasks
And nebulous thoughts turn
To the spiritual and the sublime
We turn inwards, like Sogyal Rinpoche
To rediscover ourselves in us
And a renewal of faith, commitment
To duties sometimes forgotten
In the whirlwind of passions
And the frenzy of livelihood
The wedding a beacon of peace…
May the royal couple light up
The deepest recesses of
Our mountains, light the homes
Of the lost, lonely villages
Like lighthouses shine on the ocean
May the lost and the lonely,
The dejected and the frustrated,
Take shelter in your arms
And may you guide the Bhutanese
Along the intricate highway of life…
