Lyrics –

Bhore bhore mahua chuvan lage rama
(Early in the morning, everyone begins their day by picking up Mahua)

Aayal subh dinwa
(Its an auspicious day)

Amwa ke dali pe bole re koyalariya
(The nightingale sings on that branch of the mango tree)

Ghughuna jas waaje rahariya ke phaliya
(The sweet peas pods are swaying in the fields)

Aame par tikorba dikhaye lagal Rama
(The mangoes are now beginning to grow Lord Rama)

Aayal shubh dinwa bhore
(Its an auspicious day)

Sundar bihan laage tape dupahariya
(The world is beautiful in the hot summer afternoon)

Gum gum gum kahi le bhor ke pahariya
(The morning starts with a beautiful sound)

Nar-naari kalash dharan laage rama chait mahinwa
(May all men and women get richer Lord Rama)

Gayile basant jharein pedwan ke patiyan
(As the spring season passes, the leaves begin to fall)

Jharmut mein hari hari kopal jharai patiyan
(In the garden the leaves and fruits of neem tree fall down)

Dekhi rahe mannu magan laage rama
(I am seeing all this with joy in my mind, Lord Rama)

Aayal shubh dinwa
(It’s an auspicious day Rama)

Bhore bhore mahuwa chuwan laage Rama
(Early in the morning, everyone begins their day by picking up Mahua Lord Ram)

Aayal shubh dinwa
(It’s an auspicious day Rama)
