Lyrics -
Saajna mein thaare thaki basu!
(Oh, love, I will stay wherever you are!)
Basu bhaasha kaam karun ghar baap ke jeev tumhare paas
(I am working at my parent’s house but my heart is with you!)
Oh dukh sukh ra menna mat di ri Mewadi Rana
(Don’t give my husband sorrows oh the king of Mewar)
Maare pardeshi no dhokho mate daye
(Don’t ditch him, don’t cheat him)
Mehla sutodar goral pagadi ri paayal
(My anklets are next to your turban)
Ubhi Ubhi re bata jov
(I long for your return while I am dressed up for you)
maare pardeshi no dhokho mate daye
(Don’t ditch him, don’t cheat him)
Likhe do kaag diya piya ji ko melo
(Give my love the letters i have written for him)
Iye re sandese manne laave mewadi rana
(I am sending letter to him again and again, this time let his letter come to me)
Maare pardeshi no dhokho mate daye
(Don’t ditch him, don’t cheat him)
Oh dukh sukh ru mat di ri mewadi rana
(Don’t give my husband sorrows oh the king of Mewar)
Maare pardeshi no dhokho mate daye
(Don’t ditch him, don’t cheat him)
Raat suvi ne maane sapno si aayo sapno jivaro janjal mewari raana
(I was dreaming of you at home my love, when I opened my eyes you disappeared)
Maare pardeshi no dhokho mate daye
(Don’t ditch him, don’t cheat him)
Oh dukh sukh ru mat di ri mewadi rana
(Don’t give my husband sorrows oh the king of Mewar)
Maare pardeshi no dhokho mate daye
Don’t ditch him, don’t cheat him
Thaare kaaraniye jhur jhur saawali
(Thinking of you has darkened my skin colour)
Ubi Ubi vaata jovo mewadi rana
(Standing all day long i look for you to come back)
Maare pardeshi no dhokho mate daye
(Don’t ditch him, don’t cheat him)
Oh dukh sukh ru mat di ri mewadi rana
(Don’t give my husband sorrows oh the king of Mewar)
Maare pardeshi no dhokho mate daye
(Don’t ditch him, don’t cheat him)
Sabha me baithorad hume aankhe parukhe
(While sitting with my friends, my eyes flicker for you)
Jhur jhur sawla pad gya mewai rana
(Thinking of you has darkened my skin colour)
Pardeshi no dhokho mate daye
(Don’t ditch him, don’t cheat him)
Oh dukh sukh ru mat di ri mewadi rana
(Don’t give my husband sorrows oh the king of Mewar)
Maare pardeshi no dhokho mate daye
(Don’t ditch him, don’t cheat him)
