chanda re main teri gawahi lene aayi
chanda re main teri gawahi lene aayi
mose baalam ne dekh le teri chaiya
me hai preet lagayi
chanda re main teri gawahi lene aayi

naino me naina daale baithe hai mere matwaale
naino me naina daale baithe hai mere matwaale
latt uljhi hamse na suljhi
latt uljhi hamse na suljhi
dekh le pee ne apne hatho se suljhai
dekh le pee ne apne hatho se suljhai
chanda re main teri gawahi lene aayi

kandhe se dupatta sarka
main chauk gayi mera dil dhadka
kandhe se dupatta sarka
main chauk gayi mera dil dhadka
pallu se pee khel rahe hai
pallu se pee khel rahe hai
dekh le khel me bazi dil ki aaj lagai
dekh le khel me bazi dil ki aaj lagai
chanda re main teri gawahi lene aayi

O Moon, I come to bear witness to your light,
O Moon, I come to bear witness, bright.
My love, he saw me in your silvery grace,
And with me, love he did embrace.
O Moon, I come to bear witness to your light.

Eyes met, entwined, my love, so bold,
Eyes met, entwined, a story to be told.
My tresses tangled, caught and deep,
My tresses tangled, secrets to keep,
See how my love, with loving hand, did keep,
See how my love, with loving hand, did sweep,
O Moon, I come to bear witness to your light.

My shawl slipped low from off my shoulder's line,
My shawl slipped low, and startled was this heart of mine,
My heart did leap, a sudden, swift surprise,
My heart did leap, reflected in his eyes.
He played with the edge, a playful art,
He played with the edge, and won my heart.
O Moon, I come to bear witness to your light.
