cham cham chanda ki laga ke bindiya
meri galiyo me aaja nindiya
lambi lambi ratiya rasta dekhe ankhiya
lambi lambi ratiya rasta dekhe ankhiya
ab aayi ab aayi
ab aayi nindiya
cham cham chanda ki laga ke bindiya
meri galiyo me aaja nindiya
lambi lambi ratiya rasta dekhe ankhiya
ab aayi ab aayi
ab aayi nindiya

aake hume mithe mithe sapne dikha
sapno me duniya ki sair kara
jhilmil jhilmil
jhilmil karte in taaro ki chhanv me
chal humko le chal chanda mama ke gaanv me
kahte hai duniya se aage bhi hai ek duniya
cham cham chanda ki laga ke bindiya
meri galiyo me aaja nindiya
lambi lambi ratiya rasta dekhe ankhiya
ab aayi ab aayi
ab aayi nindiya

ye dharti tu dekh le ye ambar bhi dekh le
panchhi bankar hum hawa me udkar bhi dekh le
ye dharti tu dekh le ye ambar bhi dekh le
panchhi bankar hum hawa me udkar bhi dekh le
mil jaye koi jo jadugar ke bhesh me
shayad humko le chale pariyo ke desh me
chhota sa bana le hum wahi pe ghar apna
cham cham chanda ki laga ke bindiya
meri galiyo me aaja nindiya
lambi lambi ratiya rasta dekhe ankhiya
ab aayi ab aayi
ab aayi nindiya

raat rangraliyo me jhum le jara
baadlo ke galiyo me ghum le jara
raat rangraliyo me jhum le jara
baadlo ke galiyo me ghum le jara
par humko malum hai hum kitne garib hai
par humko malum hai hum kitne garib hai
hum garibo kaha aise nasib hai
accha humko tota maina ki
kahani hi suna ja
cham cham chanda ki laga ke bindiya
meri galiyo me aaja nindiya
lambi lambi ratiya rasta dekhe ankhiya
lambi lambi ratiya rasta dekhe ankhiya
ab aayi ab aayi
ab aayi ab aayi nindiya

With moon-kissed, twinkling beauty, a jewel bright,
Come, slumber, to my streets tonight.
Long, long nights, my eyes await,
Long, long nights, my eyes await,
Now she comes, now she's near,
Now slumber's here.
With moon-kissed, twinkling beauty, a jewel bright,
Come, slumber, to my streets tonight.
Long, long nights, my eyes await,
Now she comes, now she's near,
Now slumber's here.

Come, show us dreams, sweet and deep,
Through dreamscapes, secrets to keep,
Glittering, shimmering,
Beneath the starlight's gentle keep,
Lead us to the moon's embrace, to realms so steep.
They say beyond this world, another lies,
With moon-kissed, twinkling beauty, a jewel bright,
Come, slumber, to my streets tonight.
Long, long nights, my eyes await,
Now she comes, now she's near,
Now slumber's here.

Behold this earth, and skies above,
As birds we fly, on wings of love.
Behold this earth, and skies above,
As birds we fly, on wings of love.
If a magician, his magic to impart,
Might take us to a fairyland's heart,
A tiny home, for us, to start.
With moon-kissed, twinkling beauty, a jewel bright,
Come, slumber, to my streets tonight.
Long, long nights, my eyes await,
Now she comes, now she's near,
Now slumber's here.

In revelry, let the night softly sway,
In the clouds' embrace, let us play.
In revelry, let the night softly sway,
In the clouds' embrace, let us play.
But we know our poverty's sting,
But we know our poverty's sting,
Such fortune, to us, is never to bring.
Then tell us tales of parrot and mynah, instead,
With moon-kissed, twinkling beauty, a jewel bright,
Come, slumber, to my streets tonight.
Long, long nights, my eyes await,
Long, long nights, my eyes await,
Now she comes, now she's near,
Now she comes, now she's near,
Now slumber's here.
