Lyrics –

Sheri mate bat kune laye hakhari jalori manoa
(You the one who wanders in the fields have ugly eyes)

Meri hakhari jo gali mat wo dinde laura re laula si aaye ho
(Don’t appall my eyes, I come from Lahaul)

Mere dwara ke re bheetalu ughaade sajan mano wo aye ho
(Open the door, my friends have come)

Mere sajan mano wo ghar aaye assu ruha keri galla laani ho
(My friends have come to pour their hearts out)

Galla lani galla meri jaan ruha keri galla lani ho
(My friend! I wish to sit and pour my heart out)

Mere sura kere maghadu jo chhede rijjhe wo ghadoliye ho
(Open the wine vessel and see if there is wine in it or not)

Minjo tera rijjhanera chaa rijjha wo ghadoliya ho
(I want to drink with my friend to enjoy myself)

Khatti meethi sajana re taayin thode thodi assan peeni ho
(Be it sour or sweet, I’ll have it with my friend)

Dukh sukh chaar wo dehade firi assan mano hona ho
(Be it joy or sorrow, it is for a few days, after that, everything will return back to normal)

Chikhda manjodo dhilla baan duyi jaane kiyaan sona ho
(The bed is broken, how will we sleep?)

Sheri mate bat kune laye hakhari jalori manoa
(You the one who wanders in the fields have ugly eyes)

Meri hakhari jo gali mat wo dinde laura re laula si aaye ho
(Don’t appall my eyes, I come from Lahaul)
