tamak tam chal mere tampu tamak tam
chhammak chhammak chhammak chhammak
chhammak chhammak chhammak chhammak
baje paijaniya chhammak chham
chal mere tampu tamak tam

paanv pade tere ghamak gham
dharti dole dhamak dham
paanv pade tere ghamak gham
dharti dole dhamak dham
dhamak dhamak dhamak dhamak
dhamak dhamak dhamak dhamak
baje paijaniya chhammak chham
chal mere tampu tamak tam

dhire dhire chaand chade, jaise mera laal badhe
dekho pahali pauthi padhe, ka kha ga gha
kka kka kot ka
khkhka khkhka khaju la
ghaghga gadi dole re
damak damak damak damak
damak damak damak damak
baje paijaniya chhammak chham
chal mere tampu tamak tam

ab aaya re aaya re aaya
aaya re khilaune wala aaya
haathi laaya ghoda laaya
laaya dekho lattu
aur lattu ke baajar me, khada hain magar battu
aur battu ke lagaam me, ulajh gaya tattu
aru tattu pe nikhattu baitha, sarpat daudi dekho
laadle munne ke man bhaya re
ab aaya re aaya re aaya
aaya re khilaune wala aaya

ye dekho gudiya, jaadu ki si pudiya
geet purane gaye re gaye re gaye re
dekho muh khole nahi
kisi se bhi bole nahi
dekho muh khole nahi
kisi se bhi bole nahi
baithi baithi charkha chalaye re
chalaye re chalaye re
charam charam charam
charam charam charam
baje paijaniya chhammak chham
chal mere tampu tamak tam

paanv pade tere ghamak gham
dharti dole dhamak dham
paanv pade tere ghamak gham
dharti dole dhamak dham
dhamak dhamak dhamak dhamak
dhamak dhamak dhamak dhamak
baje paijaniya chhammak chham
chal mere tampu tamak tam
chal mere tampu tamak tam
chal mere tampu tamak tam
chal mere tampu tamak tam

Timp-timp, journey on, my tent, timp-timp.
Chimmak, chimmak, chimmak, chimmak,
Chimmak, chimmak, chimmak, chimmak,
Anklets chime, chimmak chum,
Journey on, my tent, timp-timp.

Your feet fall, ghamak ghum,
Earth trembles, dhamak dham,
Your feet fall, ghamak ghum,
Earth trembles, dhamak dham,
Dhamak, dhamak, dhamak, dhamak,
Dhamak, dhamak, dhamak, dhamak,
Anklets chime, chimmak chum,
Journey on, my tent, timp-timp.

Slowly, slowly, the moon ascends, like my darling grows,
See him read his first book, ka kha ga gha,
Kaka, kaka, coat's embrace,
Khakhkha, khakhkha, the allure of dates,
Ghaghgha, the chariot's sway,
Damak, damak, damak, damak,
Damak, damak, damak, damak,
Anklets chime, chimmak chum,
Journey on, my tent, timp-timp.

Now he comes, he comes, he comes,
The toy-seller comes,
Brings an elephant, brings a horse,
Brings a spinning top, behold,
And in the toy market, stands the boy, Battoo,
And in Battoo's reins, the pony is entangled,
And on the pony, a lazy one sits, and gallops,
Delighting my dear Munna's heart,
Now he comes, he comes, he comes,
The toy-seller comes.

Behold the doll, a pouch of magic,
Sings old songs, sings, sings, sings,
See, she opens not her mouth,
Speaks to none,
See, she opens not her mouth,
Speaks to none,
Sits and spins the wheel,
Spins, spins, spins,
Charram, charram, charram, charram,
Charram, charram, charram, charram,
Anklets chime, chimmak chum,
Journey on, my tent, timp-timp.

Your feet fall, ghamak ghum,
Earth trembles, dhamak dham,
Your feet fall, ghamak ghum,
Earth trembles, dhamak dham,
Dhamak, dhamak, dhamak, dhamak,
Dhamak, dhamak, dhamak, dhamak,
Anklets chime, chimmak chum,
Journey on, my tent, timp-timp.
Journey on, my tent, timp-timp.
Journey on, my tent, timp-timp.
Journey on, my tent, timp-timp.
