chanda chamka neel gagan me
chanda chamka neel gagan me
neel gagan me, neel gagan me
chanda chamka neel gagan me

dekhun jab ye jhilmil taare
yaad aate jamuna ke kinaare
dekhun jab ye jhilmil taare
yaad aate jamuna ke kinaare
kaisi bhulaaun khel jo khele
kaisi bhulaaun khel jo khele
tum sang sang madhuban me
chanda chamka neel gagan me

jana chahun ja na saku main
jana chahun ja na saku main
ho jaaye na bhore re
raah piya mere aake kisi ne
pankh diye hai marod re
vyaakul man hai vyaakul tan hai
vyaakul man hai vyaakul tan hai
neer bahe nainan me
chanda chamka neel gagan me
chanda chamka neel gagan me

The moon, a pearl in sapphire's keep,
The moon, a pearl in sapphire's deep,
In sapphire's deep, in sapphire's deep,
The moon, a pearl in sapphire's keep.

When starlight shimmers, a celestial tear,
I yearn for Yamuna, river held so dear.
When starlight shimmers, a celestial tear,
I yearn for Yamuna, the memory near.
How can I forget the games we played,
How can I forget the games we swayed,
With you, in Madhuban's sweet sphere?
The moon, a pearl in sapphire's keep.

I long to leave, yet cannot flee,
I long to leave, but cannot be
Before the dawn's cold decree.
My path, my love, a stranger's hand,
Has broken wings within this land.
My restless heart, my weary frame,
My restless heart, consumed by flame,
Tears flow, a flood, in misery.
The moon, a pearl in sapphire's keep.
The moon, a pearl in sapphire's keep.
