You travel on the river, you travel on the water
Oh, Oh, Hanaah
You travel on the river, you travel on the river
You travel on the river, you travel on the water
Oh, Oh, Hanaah

River, she come down
My home's across the river, my home's across the river
My home's across the river, my home's across the water

My home's across the river, my home's across the river
My home's across the river, my home's across the water
Oh, Oh, Hanaah
