Share a song “Talking to a stone Buddha” from Loving the Silent tears



Share a song (English and Chinese) from the "Loving the Silent tears" musical.
The song was sung by Hong Kong superstar Kay Tse. (谢安琪)

It is accompanied by traditional chinese music, yet full of longing and devotion. 
(which is quite rare in Buddhist songs)

Lyrics as follows:

与石佛像对话 (Talking to a Stone Buddha)
Hallo Buddha,    Why do you cry?
In your stone heart,  how much desire?
Why do your tears,   stream down the sea.
Why give your love,   to the pebbles?

佛陀吉祥, 为何哭泣.
石头心中 , 多少渴望?
为何眼泪, 流向海洋?
你的爱在, 卵石间 荡漾

Oh Buddha,     oh Buddha,
Why did you    leave Nirvana?
….
What is here    to search for..
Endless pain     or sorrow.

Oh Buddha, oh Buddha,
Hurry now,   leave Samsara.
Back to where  No sorrow,
Only joy    Eternal,
Only love  no border

佛陀啊佛陀啊
为何你 离开涅槃?
回到那境无忧
只有喜乐恒久
只有爱   无尽头
Hallo Buddha,    why do you smile?
In your stone heart   is full of light
Why do your arms    embrace the world?
Why does your love     shine forever?

佛陀啊佛陀啊
佛陀啊佛陀啊
