Kaanpadhellam Maraiyum Endraal
Maraindhadhellam Kaanbamandro
Naanum Oor Kanavo

TRANSLATION
The lifeless things that stand still,
The beings that can walk, and those which fly at will!
Are you a mirror image of what I see in my dreams ?
A multifaceted illusion which makes me believe the world is jus as it seems ?!
The things that I learn,
what I hear, and the things that I think that forms the underlying pattern!
is it all just a hallucination?
Without any deeper sense of meaning or notion ?
The infinitely vast sky,
The pleasant warmth of sunlight and the green trees on mountain side that slopes by!
Are you like the ever elusive mirage, around the bend ?
Just my erroneous points of view, in the end ?
Everything thats gone and lost fast,
Seems like a dream, buried in the past!
I would be gone one day too! Just a living dream - Am I ?
The whole universe, one big lie ?!
The placidity of the viewpoint in a period of time,
But disguised within it are a million points of view, given by senses of mine!
Are all the appearances surreal?
Characters and characteristics just unreal ?
Everything that we see would disappear forever, someday!
Would we ever see them come back, from all the way ?
I would be gone one day too! Just a living dream - Am I ?
The whole universe, one big lie ?!
