High Peaks Pure Earth has translated a song by female Tibetan singer Tsoyak titled “An Appeal from the Heart”. The song was released in 2011 as part of an album, many of the videos are available online on YouTube.
From Yushu in Kham, Tsoyak is the sister of popular Tibetan singer Dekyi Tsering, who also wrote the music for “An Appeal from the Heart”. Simple in structure and message, the song addresses a faraway lama and Tibetans (“brothers and sisters”) outside Tibet.
This is the tenth weekly music video translated by High Peaks Pure Earth since the song series started in November 2012 with “Song of Sorrow” by Dawoe and the first in the series by a female singer!

“An Appeal from the Heart”
By Tsoyak
Honourable Lama
You are the sun in my heart
Honourable Lama
Although you have gone far away
In my heart
You are the light in the darkness
Shining forever in my heart
Ae! Honourable Lama
Oh! Honourable Lama
Honourable Lama, please bless me
Honourable Lama, please bless me
Honourable brothers and sisters
You are the stars in my heart
Honourable brothers and sisters
Although you are in a foreign land
In my heart
You are the unwavering love
Forever the hope of my heart
Ae! Honourable brothers and sisters
Oh! Honourable brothers and sisters
I miss you
Honourable brothers and sisters
I miss you
Honourable brothers and sisters
I miss you
