aaja re chanda
aaja re chanda, rath pe sawar
le chal bitiya ko taaro ke paar
aaja re chanda, rath pe sawar
le chal bitiya ko taaro ke paar
sanse hai halki, palke hai bhari
hotho pe thehri, hansi pyari pyari
sapno ki duniya ki mithi pukar
paas bulaye re gudiya hamar
aaja re chanda, rath pe sawar
le chal bitiya ko taaro ke paar

dhundhle nazaare, jugnu cham cham
natkhat sitaare, barsaye shabnam
dhundhle nazaare, jugnu cham cham
natkhat sitaare, barsaye shabnam
chandani barsaye ras ki fuaar
chanda jab chupke se badal se jhake
chanda jab chupke se badal se jhake
sharma ke chhup jaaye, gudiya hamar
sharma ke chhup jaaye, gudiya hamar
aaja re chanda, rath pe sawar
le chal bitiya ko taaro ke paar
aaja re chanda, rath pe sawar
le chal bitiya ko taaro ke paar

Come, O Moon,
On your chariot of light,
Carry my daughter, beyond the night.
Come, O Moon,
On your chariot of light,
Carry my daughter, beyond the night.

Her breath, so frail, her eyelids low,
A tender smile, upon her lips aglow.
A sweet call from the dream's domain,
Summons my doll, again, again.
Come, O Moon,
On your chariot of light,
Carry my daughter, beyond the night.

Faint the landscapes, fireflies gleam,
Mischievous stars, shower a dream.
Faint the landscapes, fireflies gleam,
Mischievous stars, shower a dream.
Moonlight pours, a nectarous spray,
When the moon peeks, from clouds away,
When the moon peeks, from clouds away,
My doll shyly hides, turns away.
My doll shyly hides, turns away.
Come, O Moon,
On your chariot of light,
Carry my daughter, beyond the night.
Come, O Moon,
On your chariot of light,
Carry my daughter, beyond the night.
