Chonde chonde gaan e gaane
Ki bole jaay ghungroo, ghungroo, ghungroo?
Chonde chonde gaan e gaane
Ki bole jaay ghungroo, ghungroo?
Modira meshano raati ei bujhi chole jaay (2)
Chole jaay chole jaay chole jaay.
Chonde chonde gaan e gaane
Ki bole jaay ghungroo, ki bole jaay?

Chondo-bondi ghungroo-te, kholo taa-ke jhonakarete
Jochhonay dhalo dhalo chand bujhi dhole jaay
Dhole jaay dhole jaay dhole jay
Chonde chonde gaan e gaane
Ki bole jaay ghungroo, ghungroo?
Jolchehe jolshaghore baati
Baati joleche jolshaghore
Jolchehe jolshaghore baati
Esho kache ogo mor saathi
Premero agune aaj shobi jeno jole jaay

Jole jaay jole jaay jole jaay.
