Story Behind The Song
As I saw our countryman are becoming distance from our freedom struggle, I realized that I need a song that would inspire and motivate them.

This song reminds us, the Tibetans, that we must live and breath our freedom struggle against China, if we are to regain our independence.

Lyrics
Rangzen-Independence
Brothers, listen to my words
sisters and brothers
At a deep place in my heart
The sadness has pooled for thirty years
Chorus
Rangzen
Independence and freedom
It's up to us
we're the ones who must make it a living fact
Nobody'll hand it
Out on a plate...
Nobody'll tell us, "Here it is..."
Rangzen
Total freedom
For that
We must
All work as one
Brotherss, we've lived too long on foreign soil
Sisters and brothers
But I'll always follow the path
of the brave Tibetns who have gone before
And I'll forever follow His Holiness' path
For the freedom of our native land
Chorus
THE VOICE OF HIS HOLINESS THE DALAI LAMA
"...The religion
and the civilization of the people of Tibet
are in danger of dying at the root.
The land of Tibet stands in danger
of truning into the land of China.
We have no time to lose.
Tibetans in every quarter of the globe
must be mindfull of our rightful cause.
Ands if any one of us were not
that would be shameful thing..."
Chorus
Brothers
Sisters and brothers
We must work till total rangzen's won (3 times)
Brothers
Sisters and brothers
And never, never forget that Tibet must be free
Techung
