Lyrics –

Hooo riiii…

Saajan aaya re he sakhi
(Oh my friend, my dear husband has come)

Kaaye manwar karan
(How should I welcome him, he has come after so many days)

Areey thaal bharo gaj motiyaan upar nain dhara
(I will fill the plate with pearls and shall keep him high in my eyes)

O maara bhai sonera
(O my dear brother)

Maara nindiya lada
(O my dear beloved brother)

Laajo maaro gale riyo haar
(Bring my necklace)

Ali tera ho gya beda paar
(Oh Ali ! you have fulfilled my wishes)

Ali tera roshilera ho gya beda paar
(Oh Ali you have made up my life so well)

O maara bhai sonera
(O my dear brother)

Maara nindiya lada
(O my dear beloved brother)

Laajo maaro gale riyo haar
(Bring my necklace)

Palere jaaijo peeliyo laaijo
(Go to the Pali city and bring a yellow stole for me)

Peelo maare gorelero shringaar
(I will get dressed in a yellow stole)

O maara bhai sonera
(O my dear brother)

Maara nindiya lada
(O my dear beloved brother)

Ali tera ho gya beda paar
(Oh Ali ! you have fulfilled my wishes)

Ali tera roshilera ho gya beda paar
(Oh Ali you have made up my life so well)

Udaipur jaaijo chudalo laaijo
(Go to Udaipur and bring bangles for me)

Chudalo maare gorelero shringar
(I will decorate my hands with the bangles)

O maara bhai sonera
(O my dear brother)

Maara nindiya lada
(O my dear beloved brother)

Jhodhane jaaijo nathni laaijo
(Go to Jodhpur and bring a nose ring for me)

Nathni maare gorelero shringar
(I will decorate my nose with a nose ring)

O maara bhai sonera
(O my dear brother)

Maara nindiya lada
(O my dear beloved brother)

Laajo maaro gale riyo haar
