Lyrics –

Marvi tune na jaane de mai o
(Marvi, I won’t let you go)

Marvi o Allah! Allah!
(Oh god! Oh god!)

Tune na jaane de mai, hit trai tol sujan
(I shall never let you go oh Marvi)

(Gud kha mithu, ganje ped nehaal patan)
(Eat as many sweets as you want as you look at all these trees)

Khabdi vo sanjhi khetan layak chhuga o chhaal pachhan
(You shall run across all the fields of crops)

Arre gal gat gal darne aayo ni
(Don’t be afraid Marvi)

Chhe jung maayo na marvi
(But I won’t let you go)

Umar maaru dukh ja dhaara nu pai de
(I’m very sad over here, please let me go)

Umar sanghi dukh ja dhaara nu pai de
(I miss my home please let me go)

Umar maaru mutte manra baran re umar
(I’m very sad and my heart is not in the right place)

Ja hi li lai lalri, ho saata maaru
(Please let me go)

Munne manra maran re umar sanghi mota
(I don’t feel at home over here)

Nit assan ju bhendru, umar maaru bhit re saun ja
(Why should I sit here, when all my friends roam around happily and freely)

Umar maaru sanghi unit saun ja mitr re umar
(Please let me go I miss my home)

Bakr baba ranja, Allah oye
(All the cattle, oh lord)

Bakr baba ranja, ho saata maaru chhela tere
(Even the cattle roams around outside freely)

Chharan re umar sanghi chhela
(Oh they roam around freely)

Hoye umar sanghi dukh ja daala nu pai de
(Please let me go, I miss home)

Dukh ja dhaara de
(I don’t feel well here)

Umar maaru dukh ja dhaara nu pai de
(I’m very sad over here, please let me go)

Umar Sanghi dukh ja dhaara nu pai de
(I miss my home please let me go)
