Chum Channan Chhai, let the echoes ring,
Chum Channan Chhai, the heavens sing,
My beloved's found, my heart takes flight,
Chum Channan Chhai, bathed in pure light.
That day will dawn, my love will be near,
That day will dawn, dispelling all fear,
We'll sing of love, with voices so free,
We'll sing of love, for all to see.
Oh, what words I've spoken here today,
Oh, what words I've sung along the way,
Chum Channan Chhai, the joy we embrace,
My beloved's found, in time and space.

My own small self, now cast aside,
My own small self, where shadows hide,
Your form, so grand, a wondrous sight,
Your form, so grand, a guiding light.
Ta Ta Thai, Ta Ta Thai, the rhythm's call,
Chum Channan Chhai, embracing all,
My beloved's found, standing so tall.

When Ekadashi arrives, my love will appear,
When Ekadashi arrives, banishing all fear,
From earthen pot, a feast to share,
From earthen pot, a love beyond compare.
Ha Ha High, Ha Ha High, the laughter's gleam,
Chum Channan Chhai, a waking dream,
My beloved's found, a flowing stream.

When hunger's path before us lies,
When hunger's path, beneath our eyes,
Beyond us now, the unknown we see,
Beyond us now, what will be,
The chicken's bread, it's now no more,
The chicken's bread, upon the shore,
Chum Channan Chhai, forevermore,
My beloved's found, upon the door.

Oh, the water of my every grace,
Oh, the water, in this sacred place,
Each gesture mine, a vibrant art,
Each gesture mine, a beating heart,
Flow High, Flow High, the currents flow,
Chum Channan Chhai, let love bestow,
My beloved's found, the seeds now grow.
Chum Channan Chhai.
Chum Channan Chhai.
