"Tibet"


To Tingli, Tibet 21st September 1997


Tingli, Tibet 22nd November 1997

Here am I in Tibet looking at the deep blue sky.
Here am I in Tibet looking at the moving clouds.
Forgetting the time, I'm waiting for the sun shines me.
Here am I in Tibet looking at the snow mountains.

When the night came, it was so cold to sleep,
even in a sleeping bag with blanket.
I just wanted to wash my face with hot water,
but all I've got here is a cold well.
There's nothing we need here except the brighter stars.
I am in Tibet thinking about a hot bath.
I am in Tibet dreaming of you.

When the morning came, it was so cold to watch
a rising sun even if it was so beautiful.
I just tried to memorize the moutains coloured by
red so slowly.
There's nothing we need here except a pray.
I am in Tibet thinking about a cup of coffee.
I am in Tibet dreaming of you.

Here am I in Tibet, what I can pray for?
Here am I in Tibet, there's nothing I pray for?
Here am I in Tibet, thinking about what pray is..?

which is called Tingli (spell?)
It was very cold but woke up early to see the sunrise
and I was right to do that since I saw such a beautiful
sunrise.
