CHHAM CHHAM NACHAT – Prem Kumar Sharma & Group║BackPack Studio™ (Season 4)║Folk Music of India – UP

This is a Braj Lokgeet, written entirely in Braj language, a language regarded very highly by the devotees of Lord Krishna. Here, the devotees are describing how Lord Krishna is dancing so gracefully wearing gungroo in his feet, kundal in his ears, Mour mukut (Peacock helmet) on his hand and Mehandi in his hand, and vibration of the bangles are so enchanting that the poet and the devotees are mesmerized by such a sight.

Lyrics –

Chham chham naachat Nand bhavan mein chaliya natkhat nand kishore
(Baby Krishna is dancing in the palace)

Natkhat nand kishore bihari, braj vallabh chit chor
(Nand’s son is very mischievous; Braj Vallabh is an enchanter)

Chham chham naachat nand bhavan mein chaliya natkhat nand kishore
(Baby Krishna is dancing in the palace)

Pag paijaniya baajat kar mein kangnan ki ghan ghor
(The anklets in his legs and bangles in his hands are weaving music of their own)

Kamar kaudhani kanan kundal banyo mukut sir mor
(He is wearing a waistband and his head has been crowned Peacock feathers)

Chham chham naachat nand bhavan mein chaliya natkhat nand kishore
(Baby Krishna is dancing in the palace)

Natkhat nand kishore bihari, braj vallabh chit chor
(Nand’s son is very mischievous; Braj Vallabh is an enchanter)

Chham chham naachat nand bhavan mein chaliya natkhat nand kishore
(Baby Krishna is dancing in the palace)

Haathan mehendi maathe baindi akhiyan kaajar kor
(His hand have been adorned with Henna and his eyes have been decorated with Kohl)

Chanda suraj pare gale mein jiyara let hilor
(The Sun and Moon pendants in his neck clink when he moves)

Chham chham naachat nand bhavan mein chaliya natkhat nand kishore
(Baby Krishna is dancing in the palace)

Natkhat Nand Kishore bihari, braj vallabh chit chor
(Nand’s son is very mischievous; Braj Vallabh is an enchanter)

Chham chham naachat nand bhavan mein chaliya natkhat nand kishore
(Baby Krishna is dancing in the palace)

Nand Yashoda dou bulawat apni apni or
(Nand and Yashoda are both calling him towards themselves)

Kabahu aavat fir fir jawat tirchhit bhonh maror
(He keeps going towards them and retreating, laughing his innocently and mischievously)

Chham chham naachat nand bhavan mein chaliya natkhat nand kishore
(Baby Krishna is dancing in the palace)

Natkhat Nand Kishore bihari, braj vallabh chit chor
(Nand’s son is very mischievous; Braj Vallabh is an enchanter)

Chham chham naachat nand bhavan mein chaliya natkhat nand kishore
(Baby Krishna is dancing in the palace)

Pakad Yashoda jabran lavat baandh prem ki dor
(Mother Yashoda has him tied up the threads of love)

Chhoot chhoot jaawat muskavat moti mala tor
(He touches the pearl necklace around Mother Yashoda’s neck and smiles)

Chham chham naachat nand bhavan mein chaliya natkhat nand kishore
(Baby Krishna is dancing in the palace)

Natkhat Nand Kishore bihari, braj vallabh chit chor
(Nand’s son is very mischievous; Braj Vallabh is an enchanter)

Chham chham naachat nand bhavan mein chaliya natkhat nand kishore
(Baby Krishna is dancing in the palace)
