Lyrics –

Jalaji maaru bole re jalaji maaru ghadi ek dheema dheema bol
(Jalaji and Maaru are one, please don’t say it loudly !)

Theto mhaare aaye jo Jala maaru theto mhaare jodi raa jalaji dheema dheema bol
(Jalaji and Maaru are one, please don’t say it loudly !)

Theto mhaare aayejo jhala maaru mrigila char char java
(Maru left Jalaji one day and went to see a deer, whose eyes, she found to the same as Jalaji)

Jala maaru ghadi ek dheema dheema bol
(Jalaji and Maaru are one, please don’t say it loudly !)

Theto mhaare aayejo jhaala maaru kara ghodelaro ghamsan
(I shall send you a horse, please ride it to come back to me)

Jala maaru ghadiek dheema dheema bol
(Jalaji and Maaru are one, please don’t say it loudly !)
