man mora nache tan mora nache chhunan chhunan chhunan
chhunan chhunan baje ghungharu teeno re gaye angana me aaye
chhunan chhunan baje ghungharu man mora nache

are o koi joka hawa ka aaye
mera chori se gungat uthaya
are o jiya dhak dhak kare gabraye
kahi chori ye pakadi na jaye
kaha chhipu haye sakhi kaha chhipu
ki mane na mane na mane na
ki tan mora nache chhunan chhunan chhunan
chhunan chhunan baje ghungharu man mora nache

are o chipi baithi thi panghat pe nari
lagi dokhe se man me katari
are o piya jise bulaungi hari
jara aane to do mori bari
suno sakhi pyari suno sakhi pyari
vo jane na vo jane na vo jane na
ki tan mora nache chhunan chhunan chhunan
chhunan chhunan baje ghungharu
teer more dhaye angana me aaye
chhunan chhunan baje ghungharu man mora nache

My soul dances, my body sways, *chunun chunun chunun*.
*Chunun chunun* the anklets chime, three souls descend, arrive in the courtyard.
*Chunun chunun* the anklets chime, my soul dances.

Oh, a gust of wind arrives,
Lifts my veil with thieving grace.
Oh, my heart pounds, filled with fright,
Lest this secret be unveiled.
Where shall I hide, alas, my friend, where shall I flee?
For it knows no bounds, no limits, no surrender.
My body sways, *chunun chunun chunun*.
*Chunun chunun* the anklets chime, my soul dances.

Oh, hidden I was, by the water's edge, a woman concealed,
A dagger of longing pierced my heart by deceit.
Oh, my beloved, I shall call you, defeated I have become,
Just let my turn arrive, just let my moment come to pass.
Listen, my dear friend, listen, my dearest,
He knows not, he knows not, he understands not.
My body sways, *chunun chunun chunun*.
*Chunun chunun* the anklets chime,
The arrows of longing strike, they arrive in my courtyard.
*Chunun chunun* the anklets chime, my soul dances.
