BACK IN LHASA
BACK IN LHASA
It was in a dance party that I heard the song for the first time. I was just ready to invite a girl to dance when the song suddenly struck my ears. I enjoyed the beautiful music immediately and forgot the beautiful girl. Standing there quietly, I was listening to the song carefully. I was surprised and moved by it deeply. I felt something that had been fast asleep in my memory for thousands of years was waken up. There was a voice shouting at me again and again: 揃ack in Lhasa, back in Lhasa.”
I bought the tape next day and listened to it over and over. The song shows me a wonderful view: blue clear sky, green extensive grasslands, snow mountains, limpid river, mysterious temple, and lovely girls. I really look forward to visiting Tibet, and staying in Lhasa.
I have no religous believes, but I have a conviction in my inner heart. I believe in Truth, Goodness, Beauty, Freedom and Equality. This world where we live is becoming more and more complicated, however, I still wish to live a simple life. Back in Lhasa, back in our common home. In a sense, we could take Lhasa as our home of spirts. Only if we have been to Lhasa, aren抰 we tramps any longer.
Back in Lhasa, back in Lhasa……
回 到 拉 萨
第一次听到这首歌是在一次舞会上。那时,我正准备邀请一位女孩共舞。突然,音乐响起,那悠远高亢的前奏一下击中了我的耳膜,我立刻被那仿佛来自天堂的美妙音乐所深深吸引,以至于忘记了身边那位美貌的女孩。我呆在那儿一动不动,沉浸到了音乐声中。真正,我被那歌声深深地打动了,我觉得似乎内心深处有某种已经沉睡了多年的情感在那一刻被唤醒了。冥冥之中,似乎有一种声音一遍遍地向我呼喊:回到拉萨,回到拉萨……
第二天,我去买了这首歌的盒带,一个人呆在寝室里一遍遍地欣赏它。我眼前浮现出一幅美妙的画面:蓝净的天空,绿色的大草原,奇幻的雪峰,神秘肃重的庙宇,弯弯流淌的清澈的小河,还有那质朴可爱的藏族姑娘。啊,我是多么渴望立刻插上双翅,飞向西藏,飞到拉萨。
我没有任何宗教信仰,但是,我的内心深处总有那么一种信念。我相信一切真、善、美的事物,我崇尚自由与平等。我们居住的这个世界正在变得越来越喧嚣、越来越纷繁复杂,对于这一点,我们根本无法逃避。然而,在我的内心深处,我还是渴望过一种质朴的生活,一种回归自然的生活。“回到拉萨,回到我们共同的家”,从某种意义上说,拉萨就是我们精神上的家园。我以为,只有去过拉萨,我们才不再是无家可归的精神上的浪子。
回到拉萨,回到拉萨……
