That kind of life
Author: He Xuntian
At that moment, I soared to immortality, not for immortality, but for your peace and happiness.
At that moment, I raised my horse, not to pray, but to wait for your arrival.
On that day, the Mani pile was built not to repair, but to throw stones at the heart lake.
That night, I listened to Sanskrit singing all night, not for enlightenment, but for your breath.
On that day, I closed my eyes in the mist of the temple and suddenly heard you chanting and telling the truth.
That January, I shook all the prayer tubes, not to cross over, but to touch your fingertips.
That year, I kowtowed on the mountain road, not to see you, but to stick to your warmth.
At that time, mountains turned to water and pagodas, not to repair the afterlife, but to meet each other on the way.
Detailed explanation of works
The poem "That Me" is misunderstood by many people as the work of the sixth Dalai Lama Cangyang Gyatso, and it is said that his "Love Poems Handed Down from Ancient Times" is regarded as a classic. In fact, it is not the work of Cangyang Jiacuo, but the work of the famous musician He Xuntian. Now this poem has been adapted into several versions, some of which are titled "That Day", "That Night" or "The Believer".
The starting point of the dispute
There is also a love song by the 6th Dalai Lama Cangyang Gyatso, which consists of seven poems by Cangyang Gyatso and is included in the album Yangjinma. Careless listeners will inevitably confuse the two.
In the context of China, Cangyang Jiacuo is not only a poet of the King of God, but also a romantic lover. The dual persistence and internal conflict between religion and love expressed in The Believer coincides with this psychological expectation.
Because the original work is in Chinese and the author is also a master, the poetry and realm contained in the lyrics seem to surpass the Chinese translation of Cang Love Song.
