Lyrics –

Ghar ghar satua pisayi laglaye rama chait mahinwa
(Every family is grinding satua [traditional drink], in the season of Chaita (spring))

Gobra se angna lipaye laglaye rama chait mahinwa
(The porch of the house has been coated with Cow Dung, in the season of Chaita (spring))

Katni mein lagi gayile gauwan kisanwa
(In the village, farmers are cultivating wheat crop)

Gehuan anaaj se patal kharihanwa
(The storage houses are full with the crops that have been harvested)

Gaanv Gaanv dawri phainaye lagal rama chait mahinwa
(From village to village, people are spreading red carpet, Oh Rama)

Navmi poojan ke ba hot tayyari
(Navmi is about to arrive, people are preparing to celebrate it)

Mata ji ke pooja kari hain harshit nar naari
(All Men and Women are feeling immense joy as they prepare for the Navmi rituals)

Ghar ghar pachra gawaye lagal rama chait mahinwa
(Every house is singing Pachra songs in the season of Chaita (spring))

Bihari ganesh hari nandan jiyavan
(Bihari Ganesh is singing about you, Rama)

Gayile Ramdhari Guru gyan deyite pawan
(Ramdhari Guru Pawan is preaching knowledge)

Ashok Mannu hiya hulsaiye lagal Rama chait mahimwa
(Ashok and Mannu have hearts brimming with joy, in the season of Chaita (spring))
