soya mera pyaar, aanchal me pahli baar
dheere chalna chanda
dheere chalna re, kahi shor mache na
soya mera pyaar, aanchal me pahli baar
dheere chalna chanda
dheere chalna re, kahi shor mache na

hasti rahi main chanda par haaye ye meri duniya
jalti hi rahi, jalti hi rahi
god kisi ki bharke khaali se in haatho ko
malti hi rahi, malti hi rahi
chor bani main apne hi dhan ki
dheere chalna re, kahi shor mache na
soya mera pyaar, aanchal me pahli baar
dheere chalna chanda
dheere chalna re, kahi shor mache na

main mamta ki maari khaau naa aisi thokar
gir jaau kahi, gir jaau kahi
munne ka mukhada dekhu, aur baat se main apni
phir jaau kahi, phir jaau kahi
baat chhipaana is aangan ki
dheere chalna re, kahi shor mache na
soya mera pyaar, aanchal me pahli baar
dheere chalna chanda
dheere chalna re, kahi shor mache na
dheere chalna re, kahi shor mache na

My love sleeps now, cradled in my arms,
Tread softly, oh moon,
Tread softly, lest noise awaken.
My love sleeps now, cradled in my arms,
Tread softly, oh moon,
Tread softly, lest noise awaken.

I smiled at you, moon, but alas, my world,
It burned and burned, endlessly it burned.
Having filled another's lap, these empty hands,
They clutched and clutched, forever they yearned.
A thief I became of my own treasure,
Tread softly, lest noise awaken.
My love sleeps now, cradled in my arms,
Tread softly, oh moon,
Tread softly, lest noise awaken.

A mother's heart, I fear such falls,
Lest I stumble and fall, and fall away.
Seeing my child's face, I'll change my course,
Lest I stray, and stray, and go astray.
Secrets kept within these walls,
Tread softly, lest noise awaken.
My love sleeps now, cradled in my arms,
Tread softly, oh moon,
Tread softly, lest noise awaken.
Tread softly, lest noise awaken.
