Lyrics –

Nacche dudhua
(See Lord Shiva is dancing)

Baje tere baaje ho
(The drums are also playing)

Dhodhu nachla
(And our Lord Shiva is dancing)

Jata jo kharali ho
(He has opened his hair and dancing on the drums)

Ganga gaure ja
(Ganga and Gauri are going)

Paani lo gaiya ho
(To take water )

Gaura puchdi tu lagandi kya meri ho
(Gauri is asking Ganaga – How am I related to you?)

Ganga bolandi mein sautan teri ho
(Ganga replies – You are my husband’s second wife)

Ganga gauraja saro sari ladi ho
(Ganga and Gauri starts arguing)

Tuti gade ma hara ri ladi
(While fighting Gauri’s necklace got broke)

Ganga jo le gya Bhagirath chela ho
(So Gauri with a broken heart left with Bhagirath)

Dhodho reh gya kelam akela ho
(And Lord Shiva was left alone)

Nacche dudhua
(See Lord Shiva is dancing)

Baje tere baaje ho..
(The drums are also playing)

Tere mughte mein chidiya ale paaye ho
(Now the birds have made a nest in Lord Shiva’s long beards)

Nacche dudhua
(See Lord Shiva is dancing)

Baje tere baaje ho
(The drums are also playing)
