ho dheere dheere chadh gaya nadi me paani
ho dheere dheere chadh gaya nadi me paani
ho dheere dheere
ho koi kahe tufaan utha
koi kahe re aai jawani
dheere dheere chadh gaya nadi me paani
ho dheere dheere

dil me baitha koi dil ki
dhadkan ginta jaye
dhadkan ginta jaye
mere man ke bhed churakar
apne bhed chhupaye, apne bhed chhupaye
ho jo jo meri preet badhe
main hoti jaaun diwaani
dheere dheere chadh gaya nadi me paani
ho dheere dheere

uthti girti lehre bole
aao sath humaare
aao sath humaare
aane waali raat ka pehla
tara kare ishaare
tara kare ishaare
ho man ki batiyaan
geet bani, geeto me aai rawani
dheere dheere chadh gaya nadi me paani
ho dheere dheere

bachpan me hum kar baithe
ek chhoti si nadaani
chhoti si nadaani
lekin aaj usi ke dam se
hai jindagi suhaani
hai jindagi suhaani
ho do dil pyaar me badh gaye
badhti jaaye kahani
dheere dheere chadh gaya nadi me paani
ho dheere dheere

Slowly, the water rose in the river,
Slowly, the water rose in the river,
Slowly...
Some say a storm arose,
Some say youth has arrived.
Slowly, the water rose in the river,
Slowly...

Someone sits in the heart,
Counting heartbeats,
Counting heartbeats,
Stealing the secrets of my mind,
Hiding their own, hiding their own.
As my love grows,
I become mad with longing.
Slowly, the water rose in the river,
Slowly...

The rising and falling waves speak,
"Come with us,"
"Come with us,"
The first star of the coming night,
Winks its signal,
Winks its signal.
The whispers of the heart,
Turn to song, the songs overflow with life.
Slowly, the water rose in the river,
Slowly...

In childhood, we committed,
A small foolish act,
A small foolish act,
But today, because of that very thing,
Life is so beautiful,
Life is so beautiful.
Two hearts have grown in love,
And the story grows and grows.
Slowly, the water rose in the river,
Slowly...
