Lyrics –

Ghoomar hai nakrali hai maa, ghoomar ramva mai jaasa
( Let me enjoy the dance, let me go there)

Mahane devdo jaat re ghar mat dijo hai maa devda bajo vichla kevda hai maa
(Please don’t marry me in the family of jaats, they create a mess)

Mahne khichiyare ghar mat dijo hai maa khichiya mhane khichidilo sadase hai maa
(Please don’t marry me in the family of Khichiyars, they stink)

Mahne rathorade ghar dijo hai maa rathoradi boli mane pyari lage hai maa
(Please marry me in the family of Rathods, I love their language)
