The Other Side
Monjes Budistas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Palden tsawe lama rinpoche)
(Dakgi chiwor peme denshug ne)
(Kadrin chenpö gone jesung te)
(kusung thugkyi ngodrup tseldu sol)

Sometimes I feel the earth has no direction, nothing living on
And everyday I expect that something happens what shouldn't be
Why don't you give me your smile? It will be so easy-y, yeah!
If you don't, we'll never know, never know each other
Don't you want to know the other side?

Living in ormind we'll never need
(Palden lama tampa nam la kyab su chio)
If you want to reach sunlight damn to eat meat
(Dzog pe sang gye chom den de nam la kyap su chio)
Hizen Dojo

The way is so long but you shouldn't hesitate no, no!
There are so many happiness or sorrows you'll have to go through
Close of the edge you will find yourself and a door
You will see the brightest light, let it wrap you, let you go
You will feel you are born again

Living in ormind we'll never need
(Palden lama tampa nam la kyab su chio)
If you want to reach sunlight damn to eat meat
(Dzog pe sang gye chom den de nam la kyap su chio)
Breathe under prayers of religion and you'll be free
(Tam pe cho nam la kyab su chio)
A walking is harder than a planing keep on going
(Pag pe gen dun nam la kyab su chio)

Overall Meaning

The song "The Other Side" by Monjes Budistas is a powerful reflection on the human condition and our search for meaning and connection. The lyrics convey a sense of restlessness and longing, as the singer expresses a feeling that the world lacks direction and purpose. They crave something more, something that will bring them closer to others and to a deeper understanding of themselves.


Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of duality and contrast. The chorus urges the listener to "know the other side", implying that there is an unseen world beyond our current experience. The verse "Living in ormind we'll never need" suggests that there is a higher state of being that is free from the complexities and limitations of everyday life. This idea is echoed in the lines "You will see the brightest light, let it wrap you, let you go / You will feel you are born again", which speak to the transformative power of spiritual awakening.


The use of traditional Buddhist terminology throughout the song underscores its spiritual underpinnings. Phrases like "Palden tsawe lama rinpoche" and "kusung thugkyi ngodrup tseldu sol" are likely unfamiliar to many listeners, but their meaning is clear within the context of Buddhist practice. This adds depth and richness to the lyrics, and invites listeners to engage with the song on a deeper level.
