This song describes the feelings of a lover who is asking his partner to come back home. The singer pleads her to see how he misses his youth and riding horses during the time.

Lyrics –

Dhola bega aau jo
(Come quickly my beloved)

Sawan pehli teej
(It’s out first monsoon)

Bara bhigove badoli
(Just like it does in the rain)

Mera bheege navrang cheer
(My clothes are getting wet)

Maaru jo hai baat, gori jo hai baat
(Oh my beloved I’m waiting for you)

Aaj dholo je umna bhumna
(Why are you so sad my friend)

Nakso Jore bheet
(Do you miss something?)

Kamando disawar, kaage maaru aai cheet
(Do you miss the foreign land, or is it something else?)

Dhola ji Bega aau jo, Maaru jo hai baat
(I just want to say, oh my beloved come soon)

Nai mann mera disawar
(I don’t miss any foreign land)

Nai maaru aai cheet
(I don’t miss my family)

Patan ghoda khelta
(Riding horses in my youth)

Mane vo din aaya cheet
(Those are the days I miss)

Dhola ji Bega aau jo, Maaru jo hai baat
(I just want to say, oh my beloved come soon)

Dhola tamne desh mein maine teen ratan
(In this country there are only three things of a kind)

Ek dholo, dooji marwi, teeje kasoomal rang
(One of them is you, the other is marwi, and the last is the colorful landscapes)

Dhola tumse bhor bhale, tere ban ko ghaas
(Oh my beloved, the earth is greater than you as it feeds the cattle)

Saanj pade din hathoye, kare gharo ki aas
(It’s evening now and I wish to go home)
