teri mai balaye lu
tujhe mai duaye du
tujhko mai khushiyo ke saye du
khwabo ko sajaye tu
aankho me basaye tu
tujhko mai du sab jo chahe tu
sari raat ye pehra kare
keh du chand taron ko
chaoro chaoro icha pari chaoro
chaoro chaoro icha pari chaoro

jaag jaye na tu jaagu raton mai
jhoole jhoola tu mere hathon me
teri chumu aankhein mai baith sirhane
sari raat ye pehra kare
keh du chand taron ko
chaoro chaoro icha pari chaoro
chaoro chaoro icha pari chaoro

I would take your woes,
Offer blessings, as the river flows.
Shelter you in joy's embrace,
Adorn your dreams, time and space.
Within your eyes, a sacred place,
All your desires, I'll chase.
The whole night, I'll stand guard,
Whispering to moon and stars, a bard:
*Chao ro chao ro icha pari chao ro*
*Chao ro chao ro icha pari chao ro*

Lest you awaken, while I keep vigil,
Rocked gently in my arms, a vigil.
Your eyes, I'll kiss, beside your head,
The whole night, my watch, instead.
Whispering to moon and stars, I said:
*Chao ro chao ro icha pari chao ro*
*Chao ro chao ro icha pari chao ro*
