英雄 (Ei-yu) is a hero. 欺 (Gi) is to deceive. 人 (Jin) is a person.
-->Literaly means "Heros decieve people"
Explaining;
Talented people do something beyond people's thoughts.
欺 (Gi) usually means to deceive, so we sometimes take this word bad mistakenly. However, this Japanese proverb should be used in a good way. In other words, you have to do beyond imagination to be heros like Galileo said the earth was moving, like Steve Jobs invented Ipod.
