Sahana, Sahana, lovely Sahana,
I saw you in my dream.
Sahana, Sahana, woman of wonderful grace,
I gave my heart only to you.
You were not there to lean on my shoulder,
and I was left standing all alone.
Then you came and stood before me,
and I gave you my very life.
You are my bride, my love,
and we shall unite as one.
Moonlight on water, divine enchantress,
the joyful beloved of Brahma,
morning light, goddess riding a swan,
you are an angel on this earth.
Moonlight on water, divine enchantress,
the joyful beloved of Brahma,
morning light, goddess riding a swan,
you are an angel on this earth.
She swept into my heart like a little storm, my girl,
is this joy, pure joy?
Shall I enter deep within, my girl?
Is this real? Is this true?
In a split second, she floored me with her eyes,
is this fair, is this fair?
If you leave me, could my heart bear it?
You are my whole life, my love.
Moonlight on water, divine enchantress,
the joyful beloved of Brahma,
morning light, goddess riding a swan,
you are an angel on this earth.
Moonlight on water, divine enchantress,
the joyful beloved of Brahma,
morning light, goddess riding a swan,
you are an angel on this earth.
Satyabhama, you and only you are Satyabhama,
Satyabhama, you are a heavenly realm to me.
Satyabhama, you and only you are Satyabhama,
Hey Satyabhama, you are a heavenly realm to me.
