Here I come, I come, I have arrived,
A doll-bride, a maiden so alive!
For reunion, she brings a flock,
To choose, she offers fabrics to unlock.
Red toys that make the world amazed,
Oh brother, do not steal, be not crazed,
Mother, do not plead, do not make a mess,
Children, focus, nothing less.
The world will dance, *chham-chham* it sways,
I will sing my song through all the days.
Take her, take her, this doll of promises,
She dances and waits on life's abysses,
Her bangles chime with every beat,
Take her, take her, the doll so sweet.
Why does your heart, boy, pound so fast?
Why stand so stiff, the moment passed?
Did you bring money, tell me true?
Empty pockets, but a face brand new?
Why does your mind so foolishly roam?
My doll, so lovely, a colourful home.
See her wearing pearls, a precious sight,
More precious to me than day or night.
Fair, fair, so fair,
A ribbon in her hair.
The bride looks fair, *dhinak dhin dha*,
Take her, take her, the doll will draw.
Little ones, here and there, they sway,
My fair one lifts her veil this day,
She does not weigh, they will not stay.
Little ones, here and there, they sway,
My fair one lifts her veil this day,
She does not weigh, they will not stay.
Shame comes to eyes, youth's face to see,
A firecracker’s light, she sets me free.
Behind the curtain, her face concealed,
Slowly, slowly, father, be revealed,
Do not stare, don’t look this way,
A fragile doll, come what may,
Take her, take her, the doll's display.
