o natkhat nanhi ladli tujhe dekhe
tera mama chanda mama
o natkhat nanhi ladli tujhe dekhe
tera mama chanda mama
ab jhat pat kahna man ri tujhe dekhe
tera mama chanda mama

har rat ko chanda aaye har rat ko chanda aaye
or dudh malai laye chandi ki thali me sone ki pyali me
tu khaye chanda muskaye o natkhat
o natkhat nanhi ladli tujhe dekhe
tera mama chanda mama

tu gudiya pyari pyari tu gudiya pyari pyari
ma bap ki raj dulari chun chun ke taro ko
bunbun ke haro ko tera mama tujhko pahnaye
o natkhat o natkhat nanhi ladli tujhe dekhe
tera mama chanda mama

yu tera mukhda damke yu tera mukhda damke
jyu nabh par chanda damke wo ambar ka moti hai
tu dharti ki jyoti hai teri jyoti jug jug lahraye
o natkhat o natkhat nanhi ladli tujhe dekhe
tera mama chanda mama

Oh, impish, tiny darling, he beholds you,
Your uncle, the moon, watches you.
Oh, impish, tiny darling, he beholds you,
Your uncle, the moon, watches you.
Now quickly, say it, oh mind, he beholds you,
Your uncle, the moon, watches you.

Each night the moon arrives, each night he appears,
Bringing milk and cream in a silver plate,
In a golden cup, you consume, the moon smiles.
Oh, mischievous one!
Oh, impish, tiny darling, he beholds you,
Your uncle, the moon, watches you.

You are a doll, so very lovely, you are a doll, so beloved,
The darling of your parents, picking out stars,
Stringing them as a garland, your uncle adorns you.
Oh, mischievous one!
Oh, impish, tiny darling, he beholds you,
Your uncle, the moon, watches you.

Your face glows, it shines so, your face shines,
Like the moon in the sky, a pearl of the heavens,
You are the light of the earth, may your light ever wave.
Oh, mischievous one!
Oh, impish, tiny darling, he beholds you,
Your uncle, the moon, watches you.
