nanhe re munne re nanhe re munne re
nanhe re munne re
nanha mora dole mori angnaiya
nanha mora dole mori angnaiya
dur ke dekhu aur musakau
dur ke dekhu aur musakau
mund ke ankhiya paas bulau
mund ke ankhiya paas bulau
natkhat has ke chale paiya paiya
nanha mora dole mori angnaiya
nanha mora dole

komal aisa mora albela
komal aisa mora albela
aankh pade to rang ho maila
aankh pade to rang ho maila
dare phiru mai to achra ki chhaiya
nanha mora dole mori angnaiya
nanha mora dole

humak humak chale mare kilkari
humak humak chale mare kilkari
chhoti chhoti batiya lage pyari pyari
chhoti chhoti batiya lage pyari pyari
lage najar nahi le lu balaiya
nanha mora dole mori angnaiya
nanha mora dole

Little one, my little one,
My little one.
My little one sways, my courtyard blooms,
My little one sways, my courtyard blooms.
From afar, I watch and smile,
From afar, I watch and smile.
Closing my eyes, I call him near,
Closing my eyes, I call him near.
Mischief dances in his tiny feet,
My little one sways, my courtyard blooms,
My little one sways.

Soft as dawn, my darling bright,
Soft as dawn, my darling bright.
Should evil glance, it turns to blight,
Should evil glance, it turns to blight.
I shelter him beneath my saree's shade,
My little one sways, my courtyard blooms,
My little one sways.

He stumbles, giggling with glee,
He stumbles, giggling with glee.
Small words, a melody,
Small words, a melody.
Lest ill-will take him, I will circle,
My little one sways, my courtyard blooms,
My little one sways.
