panchi bawra panchi bawra chand se preet lagaye
chand se preet lagaye panchi bawra
chand se preet lagaye chand se preet lagaye

chaya dekh nadi me noor phula nahi samaye
chaya dekh nadi me noor phula nahi samaye
wo harjai taro ke sang wo harjai taro ke sang
apni ras rachaye chand se preet lagaye panchi bawra

kaun bataye tujhe chakora kaun bataye tujhe chakora
gore man ke kale gore man ke kale
jyu jyu preet badhayega tu jyu jyu preet badhayega tu
tyu tyu wo ghat jaye
chand se preet lagaye panchi bawra
chand se preet lagaye chand se preet lagaye

A bird, a moth, their love for the moon,
A love for the moon, a bird, a moth,
A love for the moon, a love for the moon.

Seeing their reflection in the river, light swells,
Seeing their reflection in the river, light swells,
That fickle one with the stars, that fickle one with the stars,
Plays their dance, a love for the moon, a bird, a moth.

Who can tell you, oh, the Chakora, who can tell you, oh, the Chakora,
Of a fair heart, so dark, of a fair heart, so dark,
The more you love, the more you love,
The more they ebb away,
A love for the moon, a bird, a moth,
A love for the moon, a love for the moon.
