Oh river, hey Nile river,
I am drenched in your beauty!
Gathering all your smiles,
I set up a flower show.
Watching your sweet shyness,
I built a fenced garden around it.
Oh moon, is this your procession?
Is your face a dewy flower garden?
Oh moon, is this your procession?
Is your face a dewy flower garden?
Oh river, hey Nile river,
I am drenched in your beauty!
...
A bit of lightning
and a bit of magnet came together...
Did they become your eyes? Did they turn into eyes?
Chorus: Did they turn into eyes? Did they turn into eyes?
A bit of friendship
and a bit of desire came together...
Did they turn into eyes? Did they turn into eyes?
Chorus: Did they turn into eyes? Did they turn into eyes?
The Hanging Gardens
of Babylon
would be amazed if they saw you!
Are you a new kind of waterfall
flowing warm with a heater turned on?
Are you a satellite
that takes me to a world of bliss?
Oh river!
Hey Nile river!
Female: Na-na-na-na naa
Male: I am drenched in your beauty!
...
Repeating your name
over and over until my mouth aches
is pure joy, pure joy!
Chorus: It is pure joy, pure joy!
Coming like fire
and bathing in flames with you
is heaven, absolute heaven!
Chorus: It is heaven, absolute heaven!
The heart weighs
only a hundred grams,
yet your memories weigh a hundred tons!
None of the Miss Worlds
has even half your beauty!
Female: To measure the pull of your eyes,
Newton is not alive today!
Oh river, hey Nile river,
Female: La-la-la-la naa
Male: I am drenched in your beauty!
Gathering all your smiles,
I set up a flower show.
Watching your sweet shyness,
I built a fenced garden around it.
Oh moon, is this your procession?
Is your face a dewy flower garden?
Oh moon, is this your procession?
Is your face a dewy flower garden?
Oh moon, is this my procession?
Is my face a dewy flower garden?
La-la-la-la la la-la-la-la
La la-la-la-la la

Overall song meaning

This romantic duet, written by lyricist Pa. Vijay for the film Vaanathaippola (2000), uses vivid nature imagery and playful modern metaphors to celebrate the overwhelming beauty of the beloved. The male protagonist compares his lover to the majestic Nile river, a glowing moon, and a flower show born from her smiles.
