Is this an oasis right in the middle of the road?
Will a divine girl arrive on a chariot?
Oh... oh...
Rahathulla, Rahathulla, you enjoy it so well!
Just as wonderfully as all you desire.
A playful dance drawing two different hearts together,
It is sizzling hot and perfectly in tune, isn't it?
Flawless,
in disguise,
flawless,
as you arrive,
flawless,
bright moon,
have you seen any of this?
Will it change,
the moonlit sky?
Will it change,
the long distance?
Will it change,
a hundred clouds?
This is the gamble of youth!
Oh, Rahathulla, Rahathulla, you enjoy it so well!
Just as wonderfully as all you desire.
A playful dance drawing two different hearts together,
It is sizzling hot and perfectly in tune, isn't it?
...
Naana neynaana hey naana neynaana hey naana
Neyna neyna neyna
Naana neynaana hey naana neynaana hey naana
Naana naana naana...
In my dreams, in my dreams,
like poems, like poems,
as I keep trying to write,
some fade away as old,
new ones keep arriving,
countless stories unfold.
Electricity surges through my hands,
even the slightest touch is enough.
Shall I touch you? Shall I reach out and touch?
No one has ever come this close to me.
Oh, Rahathulla, Rahathulla, you enjoy it so well!
Just as wonderfully as all you desire.
A playful dance drawing two different hearts together,
It is sizzling hot and perfectly in tune, isn't it?
Whoa... ha...
Raha... thulla
Haha hulla
Ha thulla
Hahaha hulla
Rahathulla
Hey thulla, Rahathulla
Hoyla hoy thulla
So wonderfully skilled!
Hoyla hoy thulla
So wonderfully skilled!
Yo Muni Sani
Hoyla hoy thulla
So wonderfully skilled!
Yo Honey Mani
Hoyla hoy thulla
So wonderfully skilled!
O lovely lady!
Under the burning sun, in the sun,
this body, this body,
melts and aches in longing,
in a sudden shower of rain,
this heart, this heart,
yearns and gets drenched,
Lalaley laley laley lalaley
Laila laila laila
Lalaley laley laley lalaley
Laila laila laila
Day after day,
Mani, mani
my sky keeps changing,
Muni, sani
Happiness
Honey, honey
suddenly turns into anger, oh my!
Oh my, oh my!
Oh, even having ups and downs is a pleasure,
a kind of joy!
Oh... ah... oh...
Oh, Rahathulla, Rahathulla, you enjoy it so well!
Just as wonderfully as all you desire.
A playful dance drawing two different hearts together,
It is sizzling hot and perfectly in tune, isn't it?
Flawless,
in disguise,
flawless,
as you arrive,
flawless,
bright moon,
have you seen any of this?
Will it change,
the moonlit sky?
Will it change,

Will it change,
a hundred clouds?
This is the gamble of youth!
