[Intro]

හේතුවක් නොදනිමියි ඇයි මා මං වී ඉපදුනා.
I do not know the cause—why I was born as “me.”
(The question of existence itself — who is this that becomes?)

හේතුවක් ඉපදීම තුළම ඉපදීම පලය වී තිබුණා.
Within the very act of arising, the cause had already borne its fruit.
(Every birth is the ripening of its own cause — the seed and fruit born together.)

හේතුවක් ඉපදීම තුලම ඉපදී තිබුනා.
The cause itself was born within the birth.
(Even the cause is conditioned — arising within the same process.)

ඉපදීම දකින, හැගෙන, දැනෙන හැමතැනැම මං ඉස්සර උනා.
When what is seen, heard, or felt is born — it is I who move forward into becoming.
(Each moment of perception carries me into renewed existence.)

[Drop]

ඉපදීම දකින, හැගෙන, දැනෙන හැමතැනැම මං ඉස්සර උනා.
When what is seen, heard, or felt is born — I step into becoming once more.

මං හැගෙන, දැනෙන, දකින හැමැතැනෙම තවත් සසර දික් උනා.
With each perception, feeling, and sight — the circle of samsara lengthens.
(Perception itself becomes the bridge to rebirth — the cycle continues.)

(repeats)

[Verse 2]

දුටුව දේ තුල කිසිම කලක එය නොතිබුනිද?
Was there ever a time when the thing I saw did not exist?

නොතිබූ දෙයක් තුල දුටු බවක් පවතීද?
Can “seeing” exist within what never truly was?

දුටුව දේ නොවෙයි, දුටුව මම නොවේද එතන මුලාව.
Is it not that what was seen is not real — and the one who saw, not the seer at all?
(The illusion breaks — both object and observer dissolve into process.)

මමම ගොඩ නගා මාව හොයන මේ ගති මම ද.
It is I myself who built this “I,” and now seek myself through my own creations.
(The mind loops in its own projection, mistaking shadow for source.)

[Chorus / Drop]

ඉපදීම දකින, හැගෙන, දැනෙන හැමතැනැම මං ඉස්සර උනා.
When what is seen, heard, or felt is born — I move forward into becoming.

මං හැගෙන, දැනෙන, දකින හැමැතැනෙම තවත් සසර දික් උනා.
Each act of perception extends the samsaric journey further.

[Verse 3]

කැඩපතක් ලගට ගොස් රූ සපුවක් ඔබ වින්දාද.
Have you ever gone near a mirror and admired your reflection?

කැඩපතේ මම මුලාවකට නැවතත් හසුවුනිද.
Have I too not fallen again into that illusion within the glass?

කැඩපතේ ඔබ නැතිබව ඔබ නොදනිමිද.
Do you not see that within the mirror, “you” are not truly there?

මම නැතිබවක් නොදනින්න මමක් කොහේ සිටියාද.
If I fail to see my own absence — where then was this “I” ever found?
(The mirror of perception reflects emptiness, not identity.)

[Verse 4]

හේතුවක් නිසා හටගත් ඵලයක් මම වී තිබුනී.
I became the fruit born of a cause — nothing more, nothing less.

හේතුව නැති ඌ තැන නැවත මමක් නොතිබූ තිබුනී.
Where that cause ceases, there too — this “I” no longer is.
(Cessation is not death, but release — the stilling of becoming.)

ඇතුලත පිටත ඇති ගැට එකට ගැලවෙන විදිහකි.
It is the way the inner and outer knots untie together.
(The dualities dissolve — self and world loosen in the same breath.)

සතිය මත මම බලන දිනක මම නැතිවෙන විදිහකි.
On the day mindfulness truly sees, it is the way “I” quietly vanish.
(Wisdom doesn’t destroy the self — it reveals there was none.)

ඉපදීම දකින, හැගෙන, දැනෙන හැමතැනැම මං ඉස්සර උනා.
When what is seen, heard, or felt is born — I move forward into becoming.

මං හැගෙන, දැනෙන, දකින හැමැතැනෙම තවත් සසර දික් උනා.
Each perception stretches the river of samsara once again.

[Outro]

(The echo fades — perception quiets, cause ceases, and what was “I” no longer moves forward. Only stillness remains.)
