Lyrics –

Bindiya le gayo humar re machhariya ho
(The fish took away my Bindi (coloured dot on the centre of the forehead))

Mora bindya
(My Bindi)

Mora bindya le gayo re
(Took away my Bindi)

Humar bindya
(My Bindi)

Bindiya le gayo humar re machhariya ho
(The fish took away my Bindi (coloured dot on the centre of the forehead))

Jaake kehbo
(Go and tell)

Jaake kehbo chhotka dewarwa se
(Go and tell my younger brother in law)

Chhotka dewarwa se
(To my younger brother in law)

Jaake kehbo chhotka dewarwa se
(Go and tell my younger brother in law)

Jaake kehbo
(Go and tell)

Nadiya mein daale maha jaal re
(To throw a big fish net in the river)

Bindiya le gayo humar re machhariya ho
(The fish took away my Bindi (coloured dot on the centre of the forehead))

Bindiya le gayo humar re machhariya
(The fish took away my Bindi (coloured dot on the centre of the forehead))
