Lyrics –

Ho Ram.

Bhaile bihanwa bolele koyilariya utha ho bahuar
(Wake up, oh daughter-in-law! The Nightingale is singing and the sun has risen)

Bahuar angana bahora utha ho bahuar
(Wake up and clean the porch)

Kaise ka angana bahoro aye Saasu ji
(How do I clean the porch, Oh mother-in-law!)

Betauwa raurna
(Your son keeps me occupied)

Sute aanchara dabaye ho betaua raurna
(Your son sleeps in my lap and keeps me occupied)

Gunwa ka aagar jo rehtu aye bahuar
(If you were smart enough)

Acharwa aapana
(Your Lap)

Letu sanjhawe bator ho
(You would begin trying to protect your lap as soon as the evening hours strike)

Acharwa aapana
(Your lap)

Kaise ka Aachara batoro aye Saasu Ji
(How do I protect my lap?)

Acharwa binana
(Away from my lap)

Piya ke nidiyo na aave
(My beloved cannot sleep without its warmth)

Acharwa binana
(Away from my lap)
