chanda ja, chanda ja re ja re
chanda ja, chanda ja re ja re
kahe aaya hai akela tujhe manu albela
mere piya ko bhi sang le aa
chanda ja, chanda ja re ja re
chanda ja, chanda ja re ja re

aa tujhko pahchan bata du wo lagta hai kaisa
nadiya me mukh dekh le apna wo bhi hoga waisa
wo jaye to bindiya baja lu
kali-kali ye lat bikhara lu
mera itana sandesha de aa
chanda ja, chanda ja re ja re
kahe aaya hai akela tujhe manu albela
mere piya ko bhi sang le aa
chanda ja, chanda ja re ja re

dekh use kahna meri nindiya ho gayi sotan meri
mere sang-sang bairan hoyi baant takat hai teri
chanda tera tu meri gawahi
hum dono hai pyar ke rahi, bas itna to sath nibha
chanda ja, chanda ja ja re ja re
kahe aaya hai akela tujhe manu albela
mere piya ko bhi sang le aa
chanda ja, chanda ja re ja re
chanda ja, chanda ja re ja re

Moon, go, oh moon, go, go
Moon, go, oh moon, go, go
Why have you come, a lone wanderer, whom shall I call beloved?
Bring my love, too, along with you.
Moon, go, oh moon, go, go
Moon, go, oh moon, go, go

Come, I will paint a portrait of him, how he appears to be,
Gaze into the river’s heart, you’ll find his mirrored decree.
If he comes, I'll adorn myself with stars,
And scatter these dark tresses afar.
Carry this message, if you please.
Moon, go, oh moon, go, go
Why have you come, a lone wanderer, whom shall I call beloved?
Bring my love, too, along with you.
Moon, go, oh moon, go, go

See him and say, my sleep has become my rival,
And with me, it has become a foe, waiting your arrival.
Moon, be my witness in this plea,
We two are travelers of love's decree, just stay with us, you see.
Moon, go, oh moon, go, go
Why have you come, a lone wanderer, whom shall I call beloved?
Bring my love, too, along with you.
Moon, go, oh moon, go, go
Moon, go, oh moon, go, go
