chhote chhote taaron se gili gili palkon par
gili gili palkon par mithe mithe sapno mein
aa ri aa ri aa nindiyaa
aa ri aa ri aa nindiyaa

sapno ke raste sula ja ri nindiya
jhoole me man ke jhula ja ri nindiya
sapno ke raste sula ja ri nindiya
jhoole me man ke jhula ja ri nindiya
meri maiya ke gam ko bhula ja ri nindiya
meri maiya ke gam ko bhula ja ri nindiya
aaja ri nindiya aaja ri nindiya
aaja ri nindiya aaja ri nindiya
chhote chhote taaron se gili gili palkon par
gili gili palkon par mithe mithe sapno mein
aa ri aa ri aa nindiyaa
aa ri aa ri aa nindiyaa

sapno ke raste sula ja ri nindiya
jhoole me man ke jhula ja ri nindiya
sapno ke raste sula ja ri nindiya
jhoole me man ke jhula ja ri nindiya
meri gudiya ke gam ko bhula ja ri nindiya
meri gudiya ke gam ko bhula ja ri nindiya
aaja ri nindiya aaja ri nindiya
aaja ri nindiya aaja ri nindiya

From tiny stars, upon the tear-wet eyes,
Upon those lashes, dreams begin to rise.
Come, oh come, sweet slumber, drift and sway,
Come, oh come, and steal the light of day.

Along the paths of dreams, descend and keep,
Upon the soul's own swing, lull into sleep.
Along the paths of dreams, descend and keep,
Upon the soul's own swing, lull into sleep.
My mother’s sorrow, let it softly cease,
My mother’s sorrow, bring her gentle peace.
Come, oh come, sweet slumber, softly near,
Come, oh come, and banish every tear.
From tiny stars, upon the tear-wet eyes,
Upon those lashes, dreams begin to rise.
Come, oh come, sweet slumber, drift and sway,
Come, oh come, and steal the light of day.

Along the paths of dreams, descend and keep,
Upon the soul's own swing, lull into sleep.
Along the paths of dreams, descend and keep,
Upon the soul's own swing, lull into sleep.
My doll’s sad weeping, let it fade away,
My doll’s sad weeping, greet a brighter day.
Come, oh come, sweet slumber, softly near,
Come, oh come, and banish every fear.
