Setting the Background for Translating Nadi

 

"Still waters run deep."

This saying perfectly captures the essence of the songs Hansika Pareek chooses to sing—whether for Bollywood films or her solo releases. Her lyrics often seem simple, idyllic, and lyrically rich on the surface, yet they resonate with profound emotional depth, echoing timeless human dilemmas.

 

In, Nadi, her latest solo release from April 2025, Hansika explores the human tendency to chase ambition at the expense of life’s quieter, more meaningful moments. Singing to a river—but truly addressing us all—she pleads with it to slow down, to linger, and to appreciate the beauty of the journey. Rather than rushing toward the ocean, she urges the river to celebrate its existence, to explore the places it touches, and to find joy in simply being.

 

The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Nadi

 

Beside your banks for a moment pause awhile

Gaze at stars in the firmament pause awhile

Let time surge on ahead you linger behind

Resist the rushing current pause awhile

 

Only to attain one’s goal

Is not the story whole

The secret of the journey

Is its soul

 

Take one step at a time, O River

Revel in your waves sublime, O River

The distant ocean can wait

Make the ghats your shrine, O River

 

Listen what life has to say

This is how you flow and sway

In you many streams will pour

New cities you will explore

With hills and vales you will flirt

Live life with no effort

 

Wherever your waters roll

There lies your destined goal

The secret of the journey

Is its soul

 

Take one step at a time, O River

Dwell in your waves sublime, O River

The distant ocean can wait

Make the ghats your shrine, O River

 

The Original Hindi Lyrics of Nadi

 

do ghadi tu bhi kinare tham zara
dekh le tu bhi sitare tham zara
chhod de daaman samay ka aaj tu
thaam le apne ye dhaare tham zara

 

manzilon ko hi paana
hai fasana
bhed tune safar ka
na jaana

 

dheeme dheeme paaon dhar nadiya
lehron mein bhar savar nadiyan
door bhale wo saagar hai
ghaat bhi ghar tera nadiya

 

sun zindagi kya kahe
nadiyaan tu aise bahe

koi nahar tujh mein khule
naye naye se shahar mile
waadiyaan chhoote hue
tu chale tu jee le

 

saans le le jahan bhi
paaye ye thikaana
bhed tune safar ka
na jaana

 

dheeme dheeme paaon dhar nadiya
lehron mein bhar savar nadiyan
door bhale wo saagar hai
ghaat bhi ghar tera nadiya ho
