Lyrics
Ha nacido en el paÃs prohibido
Perdido en la falda de una montaña
Dicen que es la reencarnación de un Dios
En el misterio del gran monasterio
Los lamas preparan el viaje
Van a buscar al futuro gran señor
Siguiendo los designios de un oráculo especial
Barrieron las montañas
Y encontraron un chaval
Sabio en la memoria pudo recordar
Cual fue su rosario
Y su campana
Y hasta el emisario
Ay Dalai Lama Dalai Lama Dalai
Ay Dalai Lama ay Dalai Dalai
Ay Dalai
Pronto el cielo, como un avispero,
De amarillos que volaban hacia el suelo
Y el temor que precede a la invasión
Como hojas los estrellas rojas
Cayeron sobre el valle de Lhasa
A liberar al pueblo de su religion
En nombre del progreso y de la revolucion
Quemaron tradiciones y pisaron el honor
El rey de las montañas tuvo que escapar
Vestido de mendigo
Y con el alma envuelta en el ombligo
Ay Dalai Lama Dalai Lama Dalai
Ay Dalai Lama ay Dalai Dalai
Ay Dalai
A falta de petroleo no hubo amigos en el mar
Dejando las naciones tu barquito naufragar
Nobel en la guerra
Nobel en la paz
Ay Dalai Lama Dalai Lama Dalai
Ay Dalai Lama ay Dalai Dalai
Ay Dalai
Lyrics translation
He was born in the Forbidden country
Lost in the skirt of a mountain
They say it's the reincarnation of a God
In the mystery of the Great Monastery
The lamas prepare the journey
They're going to look for the future great lord
Following the designs of a special hour
Swept the mountains
And they found a kid
Wise in memory could remember
What was his rosary
And his bell
And even the emissary
Ay Dalai Lama Dalai Lama Dalai
Ay Dalai Lama ay Dalai Dalai
Ay Dalai
Soon the sky, like a wasp,
Of yellows flying to the ground
And the fear that precedes the invasion
Like leaves the Red Stars
They fell over the Lhasa Valley
To free the people from their religion
In the name of progress and revolution
They burned traditions and stepped on honor
The king of the mountains had to escape
Beggar dress
And with the soul wrapped in the navel
Ay Dalai Lama Dalai Lama Dalai
Ay Dalai Lama ay Dalai Dalai
Ay Dalai
In the absence of oil there were no friends at sea
Leaving the Nations your shipwreck shipwreck
Nobel in war
Nobel Peace Prize
Ay Dalai Lama Dalai Lama Dalai
Ay Dalai Lama ay Dalai Dalai
Ay Dalai
