...
Who is she, oh who is she?
Whose daughter could she be?
Stepping deep inside,
She devours and steals my heart.
Oh eternal Lord Shiva,
Oh Lord Saravanabhava,
In every single nerve,
She strums me like a tanpura.
...
Like a swarm of dragonflies,
Like a sweet little sparrow,
With a fluttering rush,
She shows love through her eyes.
Like a sturdy central pillar,
Slowly, bit by bit,
Like the rich, scented earth,
Her soul wafts a sweet fragrance.
For ages upon ages,
Like a face I have known forever,
Now that she is right here,
Will my heart ever let her go?
Who is she, oh who is she?
Whose daughter could she be?
Stepping deep inside,
She devours and steals my heart.
...
Unpredictably charming,
She is so beautiful.
Whether in the north or east,
Where could she be?
I wandered all around,
Lost in thoughts of her.
One day, on her own,
She will capture the moon.
Hey girl, come to my lap,
My lap is a stage for you.
The next stop is here,
Get down at our town.
Who is she, oh who is she?
Whose daughter could she be?
Stepping deep inside,
She devours and steals my heart.
Like a sturdy central pillar,
Slowly, bit by bit,
Like the rich, scented earth,
Her soul wafts a sweet fragrance.
For ages upon ages,
Like a face I have known forever,
Now that she is right here,
Will my heart ever let her go?
Who is she, oh who is she?
Whose daughter could she be?
Stepping deep inside,
She devours and steals my heart.
Oh eternal Lord Shiva,
Oh Lord Saravanabhava,
In every single nerve,
She strums me like a tanpura.
