Strange, your world, O Rama, strange,
at every step, a maze, a tangled range.
Wonderful, your world, O Rama,
wonderful, your world, O Rama,
wonderful, your world, O Rama.

Some say this world, a false dream, water's bubble,
oh, water's bubble.
Each book depicts a different hue, a different trouble,
oh, a different trouble.
Believe it true, or deem it vain,
believe it true, or deem it vain,
Unruly, your world, O Rama,
Strange, your world, O Rama,
Strange, your world, O Rama.

Mountains carved, oceans tamed, palaces we raise,
oh, palaces we raise.
On stone, a garden blooms, we conjure floral haze,
oh, floral haze.
Becoming ours, yet never ours,
becoming ours, yet never ours,
Apart, your world, O Rama,
Strange, your world, O Rama,
Strange, your world, O Rama.

Mercy, faith, all sold in markets, bids they raise,
oh, bids they raise.
Difficult for us, whose pockets are in empty maze,
oh, in empty maze.
When even your servants' lives are sold,
when even your servants' lives are sold,
Then, your world, O Rama,
Strange, your world, O Rama.
