chanda desh piya ke ja
chanda desh piya ke ja
chanda desh piya ke ja
chanda desh piya ke ja
saajan hamre bhule hamko
saajan hamre bhule hamko
saajan hamre bhule hamko
saajan hamre bhule hamko
unhe mana kar la
chanda desh piya ke ja
chanda desh piya ke ja
o chanda desh piya ke ja

sundar manhar ritu hai aayi
madhuban me kyon birha banayi
itni sunakar aa ho
itni sunakar aa ho
itni sunakar aa
chanda itni sunakar aa
o chanda desh piya ke ja
chanda desh piya ke ja
chanda desh piya ke ja

sanjh bhaye main dhup si jalti
rat rat bhar os si dhalti
jake yad dila ho ho
jake yad dila ho ho
chanda jake yaad dila
o chanda desh piya ke ja
chanda desh piya ke ja
chanda desh piya ke ja

Moon, to my Beloved's land you must go,
Moon, to my Beloved's land you must go,
Moon, to my Beloved's land you must go,
Moon, to my Beloved's land you must go.
My Beloved has forgotten me,
My Beloved has forgotten me,
My Beloved has forgotten me,
My Beloved has forgotten me.
Plead with Him to remember,
Moon, to my Beloved's land you must go,
Moon, to my Beloved's land you must go,
Oh, Moon, to my Beloved's land you must go.

The beautiful, enchanting season has arrived,
Why does longing linger in the sweet grove?
Tell Him this much, and return,
Tell Him this much, and return,
Tell Him this much and return,
Oh, Moon, tell Him this much and return,
Oh, Moon, to my Beloved's land you must go,
Moon, to my Beloved's land you must go,
Moon, to my Beloved's land you must go.

At dusk, I burn like the sun's embrace,
Throughout the night, I melt like the falling dew,
Remind Him of me when you're there,
Remind Him of me when you're there,
Oh, Moon, remind Him when you're there,
Oh, Moon, to my Beloved's land you must go,
Moon, to my Beloved's land you must go,
Moon, to my Beloved's land you must go.
