MEMO Memo: Filename: A0063 SongTitleEnglish: Samye Compound SongTitleTibetan: bsam yas kyi sa de SongDescription: Notes on translation: ? Goldstein and Jaeschke gloss spen rgyan as 'parapet', but what Tsering Gyalpo indicated is more accurately the 'frieze', or perhaps 'cornice'. ? rdeng pa stag lo shig shig. rdeng seems to be sdeng. stag refers to a 'birch', lo to its leaves, but which here indicates more 'branches', i.e. stacks of wood drying on the roof. This title has the ID A0063 in the old Filemaker Pro database. Genre: Instruments: Vocals: Tibetan Lyrics: bsam yas kyi sa de // ci yi lo la bzhengs yod // bsam yas kyi sa de // gang gi lo la bzhengs yod // hang la hang song ma nyan // bden pa re re shod shog // bsam yas kyi sa de // byi ba'i lo la bzheng yod // sa de bye ma shig shig // byi ba'i lo la bzheng yod // hang la hang song ma nyan // bden pa re re shod shog // bsam yas kyi rdo de // ci yi lo la bzhengs yod // bsam yas kyi rdo de // gang gi lo la bzhengs yod // hang la hang song ma nyan // bden pa re re shod shog // bsam yas kyi rdo de // glang gi lo la bzhengs yod // sa de glang pa shig shig // glang gi lo la bzhengs yod // hang la hang song ma nyan // bden pa re re shod shog // bsam yas kyi spen rgyan // ci yi lo la bzhengs yod // bsam yas kyi spen rgyan // stag gi lo la bzhengs yod // hang la hang song ma nyan // bden pa re re shod shog // bsam yas kyi spen rgyan // stag gi lo la bzhengs yod // rteng pa stag lo shig shig // stag gi lo la bzhengs yod // hang la hang song ma nyan // bden pa re re shod shog // English Lyrics: Samye compound, In what year was it built? Samye compound, In which year was it built? Don't listen to exaggeration [and lies], Tell the whole truth. Samye compound Was built in the year of the Mouse. That compound, [made of] gathered sand, Was built in the year of the Mouse. Don't listen to exaggeration [and lies], Tell the whole truth. The [building] stones of Samye, In what year were they built? The [building] stones of Samye, In which year were they built? Don't listen to exaggeration [and lies], Tell the whole truth. The [building] stones of Samye, Were built in the year of the Ox. That compound, [made of] gathered vapor, Was built in the year of the Ox. Don't listen to exaggeration [and lies], Tell the whole truth. The frieze of Samye, In what year was it built? The frieze of Samye, In which year was it built? The frieze of Samye Was built in the year of the Tiger. Don't listen to exaggeration [and lies], Tell the whole truth. The frieze of Samye Was built in the year of the Tiger. The roof, [with] gathered birch branches [stacked along its edges], Was built in the year of the Tiger. Don't listen to exaggeration [and lies], Tell the whole truth.
