| Sthayi | काहे छेड़ो मोहे हो श्याम | Kaahe chhero mohe ho Shyam | Why do you tease me, Shyam? |
| Sthayi | बहुत हसि न करो तुम अब | Bahut hasi na karo tum ab | Do not laugh so much now. |
| Sthayi | सास ननद सुन जो पावत तुमें | Saas nanad sun jo paavat tumen | If my mother-in-law and sister-in-law hear you, |
| Sthayi | देगी गारि श्याम | Degi gaari Shyam | they will scold you, Shyam. |
| Antara | अपनि करत कछु न सुनत | Apani karat kachhu na sunat | You do as you please and listen to nothing. |
| Antara | रोकत नित डगर चलत | Rokat nit dagar chalat | You stop me every day as I walk along the path. |
| Antara | नीलज ठडुराइ करत | Nilaj thaduraai karat | Shamelessly you do ‘thaduraai’. |
| Antara | सास ननद | Saas nanad | Mother-in-law and sister-in-law. |
Word notes
Gaari means an abusive or scolding word, and dagar is the path. Apani karat describes someone following their own wishes. Saas and nanad are the husband’s mother and sister.
