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
… …  …  …

正負2度C紀錄片8-7.mpg


There's a Song in this documentry that I like. [Starts at 1: 40s] It's called "Hallelujah"
I first heard of this song in Sherk's movie. This version is another version with more meaningful lyrics :>
Enjoy :>
..........
Hallelujah Song Lyrics
Well I heard there was a secret chord.That David played and it please the Lord,But you don't really care for music do ya?

Well it goes like this:The forth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift,The baffled king composing HallelujahHallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
Your Faith was strong but you needed proof,You saw Her bathing on the roof, Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya,She tied you to her kitchen chair,She broke your throne and she cut your hair,And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah,Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
You said I took the name in vainwell I didn't even know the name, But if I did, well really, what's it to ya,There's a blaze of light in every word,It doesn't matter which you heard, The Holy or the broken Hallelujah,Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
I did my best and it wasn't much,I couldn't feel so I try to touch,I've told the Truth, I didn't come to fool ya,And even though it all went wrong,I'll stand before the Lord of Song,With nothing on my lips but Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

Shabnum Majeed sings Iqbal - La phir ik baar wohi Bada-o-Jam


Another poem by Allam Iqbal, sung by Shabnum Maheed. I don't understand the words but feel that it must be good. :>

Shabnum Maheed was singing the traditional Pakistani songs with a wish to restore the glory, the zenith, the moral values and the humanity found in Pakistan's remote past.

I wish her all the success in bringing the old time grace and beauty back to Pakistan.

Cheers.

dua (prayer) - Lab pe aati hai dua...


One of the Best poem from Parkistan that I've ever heard.

The song moved me to tears.

Beautiful, simple, longing, pure.

...............
English translation as follows:

My longing comes to my lips as supplication of mine O God!
May like the candle be the life of mine!

May the world's darkness disappear through the life of mine!
May every place light up with the sparkling light of mine!

May my homeland through me attain elegance
As the garden through flowers attains elegance

May my life like that of the moth be, O Lord!
May I love the lamp of knowledge, O Lord!

May supportive of the poor my life's way be
May loving the old, the suffering my way be

O God! Protect me from the evil ways
Show me the path leading to the good ways

.........

Take my breath away.
Remind me of Tagora's Poem.

"Let only that little be left of me,
where I shall name you,
My ALL."

May peace, blessings, kindness reign in the world

My Mom is amazing - Beautiful Song+ Lyrics


One of the best songs for mother that I've heard. Very beautiful and moving
