Lyrics –

Nadi pare diya na maa vida
(Don’t get me married off across river)

Suine pran uthe more kaandiya
(Whenever I think I about this I become very sad)

Nadi paare dile biyah jay yadi maa
(If you will get me married across river)

Mariya khabar dite deri habe
(Then I wouldn’t get any news from you)

Yadi bhare nadiya
(If the rivr becomes full)

Nadi paarer loke maa go
(The men whi live across the river)

Na jaane naarir
(Doesn’t respect the women in Ladak)

Maaya parbena aasite dibek
(Wouldn’t let me come for the fetivals also)

Bhaiyeve sukha bek kaaya
(In worriness my body will loose appetite)

Aase paase dile biyah
(Get me married somewhere near)

Khaatibo haasi Khushiya
(Then we would all livel happily)

Baapre dharer khabar paabo
(News at parent’s house will also be communicated)

Chinta jaabek chaaliya
(The worriness will end)

Sharan jen thaake maa tor
(It will remain in front of you)

Jaais kutha na bhuliya
(Just remember this)

Maheshwarer katha maago
(If you get me married near by)

Jaabo kule daag diya
(Then you can also come anytime)
