Sargevali hoshil ka mazhi navri,

Mazhe manan bharlis kavri,

Sari jarichi, choli reshamachi,

Hanin tula me bhari,

Mazhe manan bharlis kavri

Hatan bangrya

Ghalun sajvin tula navri

Mazhe manan bharlis kavri

Aare ja, ra ja, koliachi pori me shani,

Nako lavu maska rat dini

Satse khidki navse dara,

Kone vatela gelee go naar,

Nariche hatan sonyachya bangrya,

Kone vatela gelee go naar,

Nariche payan chandiche vale

Kone vatela gelee go naar,

Nariche galen motyacha fugdor,

Kone vatela gelee go naar,

Ye vate gelee, te vatee gelee,

Kone vatela gelee go naar,

Than thanbai thane karni,

Vangi lavitan kalin karni,

Vangi lavitan kalin karni,

 

Bhaji lavitan Vasi karni,

Yo tanga konacha,

Tangyala lal gonda, bai, bai,

Tangyala lal gonda,

Varad bagala lotlai gav sagla,

Tanga teplai go Kurlaiche nakyala,

Pora jamlen fo bagavla navra-navrila.
