nadiya behti hai tumse kehti hai
nadiya behti hai tums ekehti hai
sagar se mujhko milna nahi hai
sagar se milke main khaari ho jaungi
ho o ho o
nadiya behti hai tumse kehti hai
nadiya behti hai tums ekehti hai
sagar se mujhko milna nahi hai
sagar se milke main khaari ho jaungi

baandh lo mujhe rok lo mujhe
baandh lo mujhe rok lo mujhe
rok lo mujhe main tumhari ho jaungi
ho o ho o
nadiya behti hai tumse kehti hai
nadiya behti hai tumse kehti hai

naav to kya gaon beh jate hai
meri chaal mein aisi rawaani
baandh lo mujhko behek naa jaye
chanchal chanchal jawani sa pani
mere aanchal mein hai amrit wo
de de jo nayi zindagaani
mere aanchal mein hai amrit wo
de de jo nayi zindagaani
aangan aangan barsega kanchan
jaan se tumko main pyaari ho jaungi
nadiya behti hai tumse kehti hai
nadiya behti hai tumse kehti hai

ret jaha khet lehrayenge
jaagegi dharti ki mamta soi
pyar tumhe dungi bahar tumhe dungi
pyasa rahega na panghat koi
mera naam nisha phir hoga kaha
main jo samandar mein khoi
mera naam nisha phir hoga kaha
main jo samandar mein khoi
mujhe apna lo gaon mein bada lo
tumhari hi saari ki saari ho jaaungi
nadiya behti hai tumse kehti hai
nadiya behti hai tums ekehti hai
sagar se mujhko milna nahi hai
sagar se milke main khaari ho jaungi
baandh lo mujhe rok lo mujhe
baandh lo mujhe rok lo mujhe
rok lo mujhe main tumhari ho jaungi
ho o ho o
nadiya behti hai tumse kehti hai
nadiya behti hai tumse kehti hai

The river flows, whispering to you,
The river flows, whispering to you,
"I do not wish to meet the sea,
For in the sea, I will become salt."
Ho o ho o
The river flows, whispering to you,
The river flows, whispering to you,
"I do not wish to meet the sea,
For in the sea, I will become salt."

Bind me, restrain me, hold me back,
Bind me, restrain me, hold me back,
Hold me back, and I shall be yours.
Ho o ho o
The river flows, whispering to you,
The river flows, whispering to you.

Not just boats, but villages drift away,
In my current, such a rush.
Bind me, lest I lose my way,
Like youthful waters, ever fresh.
In my embrace, a nectar flows,
Granting a new life's breath.
In my embrace, a nectar flows,
Granting a new life's breath.
Gold will shower on every courtyard,
I will become dearer than life to you.
The river flows, whispering to you,
The river flows, whispering to you.

Where sand turns to waving fields,
The earth's slumbering love will awaken.
Love I shall give, and spring's delight,
No thirst shall linger at the well's edge.
Where will my name, my identity be?
If I am lost in the ocean's hold.
Where will my name, my identity be?
If I am lost in the ocean's hold.
Embrace me, settle me in your villages,
I will be yours, entirely yours.
The river flows, whispering to you,
The river flows, whispering to you,
"I do not wish to meet the sea,
For in the sea, I will become salt."
Bind me, restrain me, hold me back,
Bind me, restrain me, hold me back,
Hold me back, and I shall be yours.
Ho o ho o
The river flows, whispering to you,
The river flows, whispering to you.
