The dream celebrated with closed eyes
is our true slumber.
Without entering that dream world,
the passing of time is pure hell.
A dream where the eyes behold art,
bearing the vibrant form of Kali,
I stood holding it close,
and you conquered me.
Appearing like a statue of Kali,
you captured both my soul and body.
My eyelids do not close,
there is no sleep,
all five senses
are no longer in my control.
There is no wound, there is no pain,
yet where am I? Oh oh oh...
Are your feet the ground itself?
The beauty of their movement
leaves everything staggering.
Is your body made of fire?
Is it a searing flame?
Everything burns away.
Girl, whenever you dance,
the drops of sweat falling down
overflow like a river in flood.
The body may collapse into the dust,
life itself may slip away,
Om Shanthi Om (peace, peace, peace).
My eyelids do not close,
there is no sleep,
all five senses
are no longer in my control.
There is no wound, there is no pain,
yet where am I? Oh oh oh...
Is your breath the breeze?
Is it the song of life?
It sings pure music.
Is your hair a dark cloud?
When it rises to the sky,
the rain comes pouring down.
Girl, if anything feels wrong,
you appear right away,
and unleash your fierce dance.
There may be no answers found,
fate may stretch on endlessly,
Om Shanthi Om (peace, peace, peace).
My eyelids do not close,
there is no sleep,
all five senses
are no longer in my control.
There is no wound, there is no pain,
yet where am I? Oh oh oh...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song portrays a deeply hypnotic and transcendent trance where the narrator surrenders completely to the awe-inspiring presence of a fiery, divine female figure equated to Goddess Kali. Captivated by her fierce grace and cosmic dance, the speaker loses control over his five senses, entering a realm beyond physical pain, sleep, and mortal reality.
