ankhiyo me chhote chhote sapne sajaai ke
bahiyo me nindiya ke pankh lagaai ke
chanda me jhule meree bitiya raanee
chaandanee re jhum ho chaandanee re jhum

yahee toh kalee hai pyaaree meree saaree bagiya me
maine yahee motee paaya jivan nadiya me
mamata lutaau aisee mach jaaye dhum
chaandanee re jhum ho chaandanee re jhum

nindiya ke sang sang raja koyee aayega
bindiya lagaayega re maala pehnaayega
lega phir pyaare pyaare mukhade ko chum
chaandanee re jhum ho chaandanee re jhum

In eyes so small, where dreams reside,
On slumber's wings, she gently glides.
My little queen, in moonbeams swung,
Oh, moonlight, sway, oh, moonlight, hum.

The tender bud of my garden's grace,
A pearl I found in life's flowing space.
My love I'll pour, in a joyous boom,
Oh, moonlight, sway, oh, moonlight, hum.

With sleep's embrace, a king will come,
A gem adorning, a garland spun.
He'll kiss her face, a tender bloom,
Oh, moonlight, sway, oh, moonlight, hum.
