Lyrics –

Kitna sukhad din ayile ho rama chait mahinwa
(Lord Rama’s birth has made this day Chaita month auspicious)

Shri Ram li hain laye janamwa ho rama chait mahinwa
(Lord Rama’s birth has made the Chaita month auspicious)

Phulayeli Alsi o sarson ke phulwa
(Mustard flowers are blooming everywhere)

Jhulayeli titli jahan daale jhulwa
(Butterflies are flying around these flowers)

Phulwan par bhanwra mandrayile ho rama chait mahinwa
(Bumblebees are sitting on the flower petals, Lord Rama, in Chaita season)

Ukhiya ke khet kahin kolhu kolhadwa
(Open your eyes and see the large fields)

Kahin chalein nahar kahin tedhe medhe daadha
(The river is flowing, even in the hot summer season)

Litka pe ladika lubhayilein ho rama chait mahinwa
(It the season of making connections, Lord Rama, its Chaita season)

Ann dhann anaaj se pataayal siwanwa
(The fields are full of fresh harvest)

Aapan aapan sab hi lahaawe kharihanwa
(Everyone is bringing their harvest to the backyard)

Pulkit hiya harshayilein ho rama chait mahinwa
(What a happy occasion this is, in Chaita season)

Khag-mrag taan todein bolein koyaliya
(Wildlife sings around happily this season)

Paki gayilein gehuan lataki gayili baliyan
(The harvest is still in the making)

Mannu – Ashok khush bhayilai ho rama chait mahinwa
(Lord Rama, please bless Mannu and Ashok, in Chaita season)
