There is a gold more precious than gold

This beautiful song asks Tibetans to preserve Tibetan language, protect Tibet's environment and for Tibetans to maintain unity. 

 The lyrics are below: Translated by TheLhasay

There is a gold more precious than gold
Vowels and 30 consonants are more important than gold
Tibetans who wish to obtain gold
Learn the spoken and written Tibetan language
Learn the spoken and written Tibetan language

There is a silver more precious than the white silver
Tibet`s environment is more precious than the silver
Tibetans who wish to obtain silver wealth,
Preserve and protect the roof of the world
Preserve and protect the roof of the world.

There is a jewellery more precious than the jewellery
Tibetan people are more precious than the jewellery
Tibetans who wish to obtain jewellery wealth,
Work for and maintain the unity among ourselves
Work for and maintain the unity among ourselves.

Songs from Tibet

It is deeply inspiring to hear the soulful songs from the new generation of young seeds of Tibet. Their songs express the importance of the preservation of Tibetan language, religion and culture as Tibetans face the threat of extinction with the mass population transfer of Chinese into Tibet. It takes deep knowledge and awareness to be able to compose the songs that they have presented. Furthermore, the courage it takes to openly sing these songs in a Chinese occupied Tibet and to instill the Tibetan values that we share in common is a manifestation of the human spirit that can not be defeated by the use of force.

We are thankful indeed to these brave warriors of Tibet who through their music have touched the hearts of the entire Tibetan diaspora. As i see young Tibetans in exile share these songs in their blogs, facebook and tweets with deep admiration, it becomes apparent that Tibetans inside and outside Tibet share a deep connection through these music. These songs have struck a chord in us that reminds us of what it is to be a Tibetan and to be united as a nation in spirit.
