Male Voice: A single dream I have seen many times over You had tied the keys to my house to your sari’s end And came strolling by, just like that, holding my hand. A single dream...

Arranging flowers on the bed, I have seen you many times over And many times over, have I woken you up from the same bed A single dream…

Humming to yourself, after bathing From your wet hair, dripping drops Over my distracted face willfully, you naughty girl! A single dream...

Over playing cards, quarrelling vehemently over a game And sometimes quarrelling, as if you were playing with me. And then holding an infant in your lap....

Female Voice: Will you shut up?

Laughter

Male Voice continues: And you know Tiku, when I see this dream about you I, who was dead in sleep, feel as if I am waking up.
