Chorus :Nandanandanaa
Nandanandanaa
Nandanandanaa
She showered a million rains in just a second
She sent killer words deep into every cell of mine
In the span of a tea break
She pulled me into a whirlpool of honey
She touches and grazes my soul
She showered a million rains in just a second
Chorus: Nandanandhana
Nandanandhana
Nandanandhana
Like a fresh, blooming flower
She walked into the house, ah ah
Like a fresh, blooming flower
She walked into the house
She painted poetry across the rooms of my dreams
She gave a few peaceful moments just for me
With her messy hair, she tied me up and pulled me close
This life of mine...
Why does it taste so sweet today?
She showered a million rains in just a second
The one sitting beside me...
Is she an angel's twin? Ah ah
The one sitting beside me...
Is she an angel's twin?
With her arched brows, is she the daughter of Manmatha (god of love)?
In her wide eyes, does a small oil lamp flicker?
Was she born just to carry all this beauty?
Why does this life feel so sweet today?
She showered a million rains in just a second
She sent killer words deep into every cell of mine
Chorus: Nandanandhana
Nandanandhana
