so ja beta so ja mera chanda so ja
so ja beta so ja mera chanda so ja
mere pyaari raaj dulari baba bethe
bahen pasari bahon mein gum ho ja
so ja beta so ja mera chanda so ja

jugunu ki cham cham tujh ko rijhaye
raat ki raani sargam gaaye
jugunu ki cham cham tujh ko rijhaye
raat ki raani sargam gaaye
khusboo chameli ki nindiya barsaaye
khusboo chameli ki nindiya barsaaye
dadi nani maa ke pyare
saat suron mein sab se nyare
karbat badal ke angadayi bhar ke
sapno mein gum ho ja
so ja beta so jaao mera chanda so ja
mere pyaari raaj dulari baba bethe
bahen pasari bahon mein gum ho ja
so ja beta so ja mera chanda so ja

radha meera sapno mein aaye
mere kanhaiya ko lori suna ye
radha meera sapno mein aaye
mere kanhaiya ko lori suna ye
panchhi papiha pihu pihu gaaye
panchhi papiha pihu pihu gaaye
raat ke rath par aaja chanda
nind ka rash barsa ja chanda
jhil mil sitaaron ke chadar lapte
maa ka aanchal tujhko samete
chahe chanda ke sang so ja
so ja beta so ja mera chanda so ja
so ja beta so ja mera chanda so ja

Sleep, my child, sleep, my moon, sleep,
Sleep, my child, sleep, my moon, sleep.
My precious, beloved, father waits,
Arms outstretched, find comfort in embrace.
Sleep, my child, sleep, my moon, sleep.

Fireflies twinkle, enchanting your sight,
Queen of the night sings melodies bright.
Fireflies twinkle, enchanting your sight,
Queen of the night sings melodies bright.
Jasmine's fragrance, a slumber descends,
Jasmine's fragrance, a slumber descends.
Grandmothers, mothers, the dearest of all,
Singing sweetest notes, embracing your call.
Turning, stretching, a gentle release,
Drifting to dreams, find tranquil peace.
Sleep, my child, sleep, my moon, sleep.
My precious, beloved, father waits,
Arms outstretched, find comfort in embrace.
Sleep, my child, sleep, my moon, sleep.

Radha, Meera, in dreams appear,
Singing lullabies to my Krishna dear.
Radha, Meera, in dreams appear,
Singing lullabies to my Krishna dear.
Birds, the cuckoos, their songs now impart,
Birds, the cuckoos, their songs now impart.
Come, moon, on night's chariot, arrive,
Pour forth the nectar of sleep, to thrive.
With shimmering stars, a blanket of light,
Mother's embrace, holding you tight,
Or, with the moon, to slumber you go.
Sleep, my child, sleep, my moon, sleep.
Sleep, my child, sleep, my moon, sleep.
