Land of Snows
I’m going up to the highest peak
Up to the roof of the world
To sit at Red Mountains steep
Kneel down and pray for my girl
This beautiful place of treasures
With religious murals upon the walls
The architecture uniquely clever
Like the figure of my senorita doll
And I cry
Oh’ Isabella do you hear me
Praying in the land of snows
Oh’ Cara bella can you see me
Come baby please take me home
It's awesome this palace of potala
The scenery so colourful and clear
As bright as my baby Isabella
White wings and rosary tears
Highest ancient palace in the world
Thousands of years old
Tibetan monastery
Frequent avalanches
Upon Mount Everest
And I cry
Oh’ Isabella do you hear me
Praying in the land of snows
Oh’ Cara bella can you see me
Come baby please take me home
There's a lot of exquisite tankga
Hanging legends from ancient time
Better do some chanting mantra
And see if these bells gonna chime
I can still hear the echo’s haunt her
Throughout the Himalaya's range
I can still see the merry blue waters
And a very vivid picture of my pain
And I sigh
Oh’ Isabella do you hear me
Praying in the land of snows
Oh’ Cara bella can you see me
She's come now to carry me home
