Lyrics –

Neema tale ambua ke tale
(We are standing under the trees of Neem and Mango)

Devi room jhoom aaye jaao neema tale
(Praying to you, oh Goddess! Please bless us with your presence)

Sone ki thala me jivna paroso
(We have served tasty delicacies on a golden plate)

Neema tale ambua ke tale
(Under the trees of Neem and Mango)

Devi room jhoom jev jaao neema tale
(Oh Goddess we pray to you to come and accept this plate with food)

Sone ke gedua
(In a golden vessel)

Gangajal pani
(We have kept holy water from the river Ganga)

Neema tale ambua ke tale
(We are standing under the trees of Neem and Mango)

Devi room jhoom aaye jaao neema tale
(Praying to you, oh Goddess! Please bless us with your presence)

Longa ilaichi ka beeda lagayo
(I have rolled clove and cardamom in a betel leaf, for you)

Neema tale ambua ke tale
(Under the trees of Neem and Mango)

Devi room jhoom rachi jaao neema tale
(Praying to you, oh Goddess! Please bless us with your presence)

Phool nivadi ki seija sajayo
(I have made a bed and decorated it with flowers, just for you)

Neema tale ambua ke tale
(We are standing under the trees of Neem and Mango)

Devi room jhoom soye jaao neema tale
(Praying to you, oh Goddess! Please bless us with your presence)
