Waken – Chinese Buddhist Song
Chinese Buddhist Song : Waken (醒来)
Singing by Emily Wang Jiabao (艾米丽王嘉宝)
Lyrics by Longqi Shi (释隆奇)
Music by Jie Li (李杰)
How far is it from birth to death? In between our breaths
How far is it from confusion to awakening? In between our thoughts
How far is it from love to hate? In between impermanence
How far is it from ancient times to the present? In between talking and laughing
How far is it from you to me? In between understanding
How far is it from heart to heart? In between heaven and earth
When the place of joy becomes a deserted stage
When new joy laughs at old love
When memories drift into dust
When everything is an unattainable blank
Wake up from this impermanent life!
Wake up from this impermanent life!
