Lyrics

སྡོད་པ། ལུས་ལ་སྟོན་པ།
སེམས་ལ་གཟིགས་པ།
མིག་ཕྱེས་པ།
དུས་ནི་གཏན་དུ་འགྱུར།

dö-pa | lü-la tön-pa
sem-la zig-pa
mik che-pa
dü-ni ten-du gyur

Sitting, held in posture,
mind in the crosshairs,
eyes kept open,
time turns eternity.

Sitzen mit Haltung,
Geist im Visier,
Augen geöffnet,
Zeit wird Ewigkeit.

ལག་པ་མེད། སྒྲ་མེད།
ཞི་བ་འབབ་པ།
ལྷོད་ཀྱིས།

lak-pa me | dra me
zhi-wa bap-pa
lhö-kyi

No hand, no sound,
quiet settles,
slowly.

Keine Hand, ohne Ton,
Ruhe legt sich,
langsam.

ཁྱེད་འགྲོ།
སྒྲ་ལྷག་པ།
ཕྱིས།
སེམས་ནང་དང་
ཕྱི་ལུས་ན།
དམའ་དུ་འགྱུར།

khyé dro
dra lhak-pa
chi
sem-nang dang
chi-lü na
ma-du gyur

You leave;
it echoes,
after.
In mind and in the air.
Fainter.

Du gehst, es hallt,
nach.
Im Geist und außen.
Leiser.

གང་མི་འགྲོ?
སྟོང་པ།
ཁྱེད་ཀྱི།

gang mi dro?
tong-pa
khyé-kyi

What does not leave?
Space.
Yours.

Was fehlt nicht?
Raum.
Deiner.

དགའ་སྤྲོ།
མ་མཐོང་བར་ཁ་ཕྱེས་ཟིན།
ཁྱེད་ཀྱིས་འཁྱེར།
ནང་དུ།

ga-tro
ma-tong-war kha che-sin
khyé-kyi khyer
nang-du

A gift,
unnoticed, already opened.
You carry it.
Within.

Ein Geschenk,
ungesehen ausgepackt.
Du trägst es.
In dir.

ཚིག་ག་དག?
གང་འཐུས?
བཞག
དུས་འདིར།
ཞི་བ།
འདི་ཉིད།

tsik ga dak?
gang thü?
zhak
dü dir
zhi-wa
di nyi

Which words?
What is enough?
Stop.
Silence, now, here.

Welche Worte?
Was genügt?
Stop.
Stille, jetzt, hier.

ཁྱེད་ཀྱིས་ལེན་ནམ?
ཁྱེད་ཀྱིས་འཁྱེར་ནམ?
ཁྱེད་ཀྱིས་གཏོང་ནམ?
ཁྱེད་དེ་ཡིན་ནམ?

khyé-kyi len-nam?
khyé-kyi khyer-nam?
khyé-kyi tong-nam?
khyé dé yin-nam?

Do you take it?
Do you carry it?
Do you let it?
Can you be it?

Nimmst du sie?
Trägst du sie?
Lässt du sie?
Kannst du sie sein?

དེས་ཁྱེད་ལེན།
དེས་ཁྱེད་འཁྱེར།
དེས་ཁྱེད་གཏོང་།
དེ་ཁྱེད་རང་ཡིན།

dé khyé len
dé khyé khyer
dé khyé tong
dé khyé rang yin

It takes you.
It carries you.
It lets you.
It is you.

Sie nimmt dich.
Sie trägt dich.
Sie lässt dich.
Sie ist Du.

ཁྱེད་མཐོང་ངམ?
ཁྱེད་ཚོར་རམ?

khyé tong-ngam?
khyé tsor-ram?

Do you see it?
Do you feel it?

Siehst du es?
Spürst du es?

Notes on Resonance and Tradition

The song speaks in proximity to contemplative traditions that emphasize direct attention, simplicity, and questioning without answer.

It resonates with practices where language points away from itself toward immediate presence. Silence and inquiry function together, not as methods, but as conditions.

The final naming does not conclude the song; it leaves the field open, allowing recognition to remain unclaimed and near.
