Wat Bukkhalo - Slide.com - English Song -

Lyric - Youtube - Michael Franti & Spearhead

- Say Hey (I Love You)

 

 Hi Everyone,

I had a chance to visit a nearby temple - Wat Bukkhalo.   I don't know the temple's history off hand, so I search on the Internet and was pleased to see that Wat Bukkalo has its own website: http://bukkhalo.com/  (I know I mislabelled the photos as Wat Bukkalo - but then that was before I saw the website ;-P)

 The information on the website says:

"วัดบุคคโล ตั้งอยู่เลขที่ 142 ถนนเจริญนคร ซอย 63 แขวงบุคคโล เขตธนบุรี กรุงเทพมหานคร สังกัดคณะสงฆ์มหานิกาย บริเวณวัดตั้งอยู่บนเนื้อที่ 7 ไร่ เป็นที่ราบลุ่มติดแม่น้ำเจ้าพระยาทางด้านทิศตะวันออก นับเป็นวัดเก่าแก่มีคุณค่าทางพระพุทธศาสนา อายุกว่า 237 ปี เป็นวัดที่สร้างขึ้นในสมัยกรุงศรีอยุธยาประมาณปี พ.ศ. 2310 ไม่ปรากฏนามผู้สร้างวัด และได้รับพระราชทานวิสุงคามสีมาในปี พ.ศ.2320 ไม่ปรากฏนามเจ้าอาวาส ได้รับการบูรณะปฏิสังขรณ์ครั้งใหญ่ในรัชสมัยรัชกาลที่ 4 โดยเจ้าฟ้าหญิงอุบลวรรณา ทรงเรือทอดพระเนตรเห็นวัดบุคคโลทรุดโทรมมาก จึงทรงปฏิสังขรณ์อุโบสถและวิหาร กุฏิสงฆ์ แล้วจึงได้มีการเปลี่ยนชื่อวัดใหม่ เรียกว่า วัดอุบลวัน

 ตั้งแต่นั้นเป็นต้นมา แต่ชาวบ้านทั่วๆ ไป ยังเรียกติดปากว่าวัดบุคคโล วัดบุคคโลเป็นที่ประดิษฐานพระพุทธรูปศักดิ์สิทธิ์ที่มีประวัติความเป็นมา อันสำคัญ เป็นที่เคารพสักการะบูชาของสาธุชนทั่วไป อาทิ หลวงพ่อแพ พระพุทธประทานพร พระพุทธชินราช หลวงพ่อพุทธโสธร หลวงพ่อวัดไร่ขิง พระสีวลีมหาลาภ พระสังกัจจายนะ พระพาคุระ พระพุทธมงคลทศพลมุนี(พระนาคปรก) ฯลฯ ประดิษฐานอยู่ ณ ศาลาจตุรมุขของวัด

 ภายในบริเวณวัดได้มี แหล่งทรัพยากรทางธรรมชาติ ซึ่งเป็นเขตอภัยทาน อันมี วังมัจฉา ซึ่งมีปลามาอาศัยอยู่ตั้งแต่ปี พ.ศ. 2542 เหมาะแก่การพาลูกหลานไปพักผ่อนหย่อนใจ ให้อาหารปลา ชมปลาสวย ปลาสังกะวาด ปลาดุก นับล้านๆ ตัว ศึกษาชีวิตธรรมชาติ ของปลาเป็นการเสริมสร้างปัญญาแก่เยาวชน" http://bukkhalo.com/history.php

 

I must say that I can't agree more; the temple atmosphere is serene and unlike many famous temple, Wat Bukkhalo is not crowded.  I won't tell you that there are over hundread thousands fish around; I may think that I overexaggerate.  You've got to look at the photos themselves and tell me you are able to count!!!

This one goes out to you and yours
worldwide
I say hey I'll be gone today
But I'll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see
the less I know
But I know one thing
That I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

I’ve been a lot of places all around the way
I’ve seen a lot joy and I’ve seen a lot of pain
but I don’t want to write a love song for the world,
I just want to write a song about a boy and a girl
Junkies on the corner always calling my name
And the kids on the corner playing ghetto games
When I saw you getting down well I hoped it was you
And when I looked into your eyes I knew it was true
I say Hey I'll be gone today
But I'll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see
the less I know
But I know one thing
That I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

Now I’m not a highly metaphysical man
But I know when the stars are aligned you can
bump into person in the middle of the road
look into their eyes and you suddenly know
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
Dancing in the night in the middle of June
My momma told me don’t lose you
‘cause the best luck I had was you
I said Hey I'll be gone today
But I'll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see the less I know
But I know one thing
That I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

And I said rocking in the dance hall moving with you
I said Hey momma hey momma close to you
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
I said hey papa, hey papa close to you
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
I said Hey Momma close to you
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you I said
hey momma, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma
hey momma, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma
what you gonna do?

My momma told me don’t lose you
Cause the best luck I had was you
And I know one thing that I love you
I said I'll be gone today
but I’ll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see the less I know
I said I'll be gone today
but I’ll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see the less I know
But I know one thing that I love you
I love you (3x)
I love you (3x)
I love you (3x)

English Songs - Lyrics - MV - YouTube - Charlene - I've Never Been To Me

 Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
But, I wish someone had talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you.....

Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me

Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies....

Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

[spoken]
Hey, you know what paradise is?
It's a lie, a fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding, it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's truth, that's love......

Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete
But I took the sweet life, I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free
Hey lady......
I've been to paradise, (I've been to paradise)
But I've never been to me

(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Neice and the isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to cryin' for unborn children that might have made me complete)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me

 

 

 



It's me, Love
