"That Day" (那一天) is one of my favorite songs. I could sing it over and over again. So this is a perfect time to sing it again, and better yet, to do a duet with 花帅！
My original plan was to record my own version, then added it to his using Autdicity. But it turned out not to be a good plan. He used a different version of music. The beats are off quite a bit. It's not going to work. So instead, I imported his song into Garage Band and recorded my version using the same music. And this worked a lot better. There are still a few places are off sync though.
This is my attempt to traslate the lyrcs into English. I'm open to suggestions. Thank you!
That Day
那一天
That day, when closing my eyes and meditating
那一日闭目
amid the fragrant smoke of the incense in the sermon hall,
在经殿香雾中
Suddenly I heard the genuine words from your chanting.
蓦然听见是你颂经中的真言
That night, I spinned all the prayer wheels,
那一夜摇动所有的经简
Not to release souls, but to caress your finger tips.
不为超度只为触摸你的指尖
That year, I kowtowed and crawled on the moutain roads,
那一年磕长头匍匐在山路
Not to go on a pilgrimage, but to get close to your warmness.
不为觐见只为贴着你的温暖
In that life, I treked through mountains, waded waters, and pilgrimaged to pagodas,
那一世转山转水转佛塔
Not for my afterlife, but to meet you on my journey.
不为来世只为途中与你相见
At that moment, I flew,
那一瞬 我已飞
flying like a fairy,
飞成仙
not for my afterlife, but solely to bless you with joy and peace.
不为来世只为佑你
喜乐平安
At that moment, I flew, not for my afterlife, but solely to bless you.
Do you believe? I want to give a try, I want to be there... ..
Qinghai Lake is located in an endorheic basin in Qinghai Province, to which it gave its name. Qinghai Lake is classified as an alkaline salt lake and the largest lake in China. Qinghai Lake lies in a hollow of the Tibetan Plateau at 3,205 metersabove sea level. It lies between Haibei and Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefectures in northeastern Qinghai Province in northwestern China.
In Tibetan culture, Qinghai Lake is called Namtso, which means “heavenly lake” in Tibetan, is the world’s highest saltwater lake and a sacred site for Tibetans. Many Buddhists meditate in the caves in the cliffs along the edge of the lake. It pocesses both natural and spiritual attractions and never lacks of lengends。
(第六世達賴喇嘛倉央嘉措) Tsangyang Gyatsothe became 6th Dalai Lama at 14 years old. As a Dalai Lama, Tsangyang had composed excellent works of songs and poems, but often went against the principles of the Gelug School of Tibetan Buddhism. Also as a youth of high intelligence, Tsangyang disobeyed Buddism disciplines, liberal to a fault, fond of pleasure, alcohol, and women. Hes was exiled from Potala Palace at 24 years old. He disappeared near Qinghai Lake on his way to Beijing in 1706. The 6th Dalai Lama composed poems and songs that have become popular not only in modern-day Tibet, but all across China.

《那一天》是第六世達賴喇嘛倉央嘉措（1683-1706）的一首情诗，后世人根据自己的爱情价值观，把嘉措描绘成了情圣，为了追求爱情不惜放弃一切，为心爱的人寫了十年的情詩。 不论如何《那一天》本身确实是手优美的爱情诗。这首诗也成就了降央卓玛的一首音乐佳作。我大爱之一，不管有没有这能力我就学唱了。学唱降央的歌对我太难了。
