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… |
