You are forever pure
You are forever true
And the dream of this world
Can never touch you
So give up your attachment
Give up your confusion
And fly to that space
That's beyond all illusion

And the dream of this world
Can never touch you
So give up your attachment
Give up your confusion
And fly to that space
That's beyond all illusion
[Verse 3: Portuguese]
Tu és sempre puro
Tu és verdadeiro
E o sonho do mundo
Não vai te atingir
Deixa os apegos
Deixa a confusão
E vão atraves
De toda ilusão
Deixa os apegos
Deixa a confusão
E vão atraves
De toda, de toda ilusão

Sar dar gome raha
Paravez be anjai dour az

Hargez beto dast nemizanandt
Va basteghee raha
Sar dar gome raha
Paravez be anjai dour az
