Lyrics –

Yehi thaiyaa
(It was here)

Yehi thaiyaa haaye Rama
(Oh Rama, it was here)

Yehi thaiyaa motiya herai gayil Rama
(Lord Rama, I lost the pearls here)

Yehi thaiyaa motiya herail
(I lost the pearls here)

Motiya herai gayil Rama..haye rama
(Lord Rama, I lost the pearls)

Yehi thaiyaa motiya herai gayil Rama
(Lord Rama, I lost the pearls here)

Kothwa pe dundhli atariya pe dudli
(I looked around the house; I searched the rooftop)

Kothwa pe dundhli
(I looked around the house)

Atariya pe dundhli
(I searched the rooftop)

Dhundat dhundat bauraye gayili Rama
(Lord Rama, I have been losing my mind looking for them)

Kahawan mai dhundu
(Where do I look for them now?)

Yehi thaiyaa motiya herai gayil Rama
(Lord Rama, I lost the pearls here)

Kahawan mai dhundu Rama
(Where do I look for them, Lord Rama?)

Yehi thaiyaa motiya herai gayil Rama
(Lord Rama, I lost the pearls here)

Kahawan mai dhundu Rama
(Where do I look for them, Lord Rama?)

Saasu se puchhli, Nanadiya se puchhli
(I asked my Mother-in-law, and asked my Sister-in-law)

Rama
(Lord Rama)

Saasu se puchhli
(I asked my Mother-in-law)

Haan
(Yes)

Saasu se puchhli,
(I asked my Mother-in-law)

Rama
(Lord Rama)

Saasu se puchhli,
(I asked my Mother-in-law)

Saasu se puchhli, Nanadiya se puchhli
(I asked my Mother-in-law, and asked my Sister-in-law)

Aree dewra se puchhat lajaye gayili Rama
(I feel embarrassed, I feel shy asking my brother-in-law)

Dewra se puchhat lajaye gayili Rama
(I feel embarrassed, I feel shy asking my brother-in-law)

Kahawan mai dhundli
(Where do I look for them?)

Yehi thaiyaa motiya herai gayil Rama
(Lord Rama, I lost the pearls here)

Kahawan mai dhundu Rama
(Where do I look for them, Lord Rama?)

Hera gayili Rama
(I lost them, Lord Rama)
