Kappaleen sanat
Turning wheel
of life and death
Come night, come day
Come nations above the rest of the world
Come death even over them
If we look beyond the set stage
and burn down the things taken for granted
Through the process of unattachment
Die the death of a second kind
In this world of impermanence
and without substance
To get rid of ourselves
as the core of the world
is the way to be set free
of birth, life and death in this world
Come sweet nothingness
To the other shore
across the raging sea
of life, of death, we go
Walk the path of the awakening
Leave the world of need
Leave the world of deficiency
Suffering (is)
Trust (for the path)
Joy
Rapture
Tranquillity
Bliss
Samadhi
The knowledge and vision of things as they are
The disenchanment with wordly life
Viraga
The freedom
and the knowledge of destruction of the cankers
In this world of impermanence
and without substance
We're entangled in ourselves
Like nothing else
Turning wheel
of life and death
Come night, come day
But in the end it's all the same
You can wait and wait and wait
We must carry on this journey
Though we can never reach the goal
The path goes forever on and on and on and on
To the other shore
..across the raging sea
of life, of death, we go
