He was born in the forbidden landHa nacido en el país prohibido
Lost on the skirt of a mountainPerdido en la falda de una montaña
They say he is the reincarnation of a GodDicen que es la reencarnación de un Dios

In the mystery of the great monasteryEn el misterio del gran monasterio
The lamas prepare the journeyLos lamas preparan el viaje
They are going to seek the future great lordVan a buscar al futuro gran señor

Following the instructions of a special oracleSiguiendo los designios de un oráculo especial
They swept the mountainsBarrieron las montañas
And found a boyY encontraron un chaval

Wise in memory, he could rememberSabio en la memoria pudo recordar
What his rosary and bell wereCuál fue su rosario y su campana
And even the emissaryY hasta el emisario

Soon the sky like a hornet's nestPronto el cielo como un avispero
Of yellows flying towards the groundDe amarillos que volaban hacia el suelo
And the fear that precedes the invasionY el temor que precede a la invasión

Like leaves, two red starsComo hojas dos estrellas rojas
Fell on the valley of LhasaCayeron sobre el valle de Lhasa
To liberate the people from their religionA liberar al pueblo de su religión

In the name of progress and revolutionEn nombre del progreso y de la revolución
They burned traditionsQuemaron tradiciones
And trampled on honorY pisaron el honor

The king of the mountains had to escapeEl rey de las montañas tuvo que escapar
Dressed as a beggarVestido de mendigo
And with his soul wrapped in his navelY con el alma envuelta en el ombligo
