bol ri jethani kaahe ko gussa ho gayi
bol ri jethani kaahe ko gussa ho gayi
gussa jyada ho to thoda pi lo thanda paani
arey bol ri jethani kaahe ko gussa ho gayi
bol ri jethani kaahe ko gussa ho gayi

gusse ki acting to achi karti ho tum
ek dam tanuja jaise lagti ho tum
gusse ki acting to achi karti ho tum
ek dam tanuja jaise lagti ho tum
mujhe pata hai fer ke mukhda kyun baithi ho tum
hasi aa na jaaye kahi darti ho tum
gusse me bhi kitni sunder lagti hai maharani
arey bol ri jethani kaahe ko gussa ho gayi
bol ri jethani kaahe ko gussa ho gayi

bol ri devrani haye tu kyun gussa ho gayi
bol ri devrani haye tu kyun gussa ho gayi
mujhe manaane aayi thi lo khud ruthi meri raani
arey bol ri devrani haye tu kyun gussa ho gayi
bol ri devrani haye tu kyun gussa ho gayi

ruthi reh mai tujhko kabhi bhi na manaungi
khud bhi na hasungi na mai tujhko hasaungi
ruthi reh mai tujhko kabhi bhi na manaungi
khud bhi na hasungi na mai tujhko hasaungi
aane de devar ji ko tere kaan khichwaungi
teri sabhi rusa roosi unko bataungi
devar ji ka naam liya to kaise mar gayi naani
arey bol ri devrani

maine mana tere miya ki lagti hu mai bhabhi
lekin ghar ki badi hu rakhu sab taalo ki chaabi
hasde jo ik baar zara tu o meri devraani
mai banaras ki sadi dilwa dungi
mai banaras ki sadi dilwa dungi
laal rang ka lehenga choli jaipur se mangwake
uspe gota kinaari lagwa dungi
uspe gota kinaari lagwa dungi
raat ko devar ji ke aage sharma ke gayegi

pallo latke gori ko pallo latke
pallo latke gori ko pallo latke
zari si zari si tedo hoyi ja baalma mero pallo latke
pallo latke gori ko pallo latke
zari si zari si tedo hoyi ja baalma mero pallo latke

chal chopati dono milkar khayenge puri paani
fudak fudak kar chalti jaise ho gudiya japani
arey bol ri devrani
tu hi meri maa hai tu hi badi behna
tu hi meri maa hai tu hi badi behna
maanungi sada hi mai to tera kehna
isi tarah bas pyaar me beete saari zindgani
isi tarah bas pyaar me beete saari zindgani
o meri jethani ari o meri devrani ari o meri jethani

Tell me, sister-in-law, why the anger blooms?
Tell me, sister-in-law, why the anger blooms?
If the fire burns too hot, drink cool water, pray.
Oh, tell me, sister-in-law, why the anger blooms?
Tell me, sister-in-law, why the anger blooms?

Your anger, a performance, well-played and true,
You mimic Tanuja, in every aspect, too.
Your anger, a performance, well-played and true,
You mimic Tanuja, in every aspect, too.
I know the reason, why your face is turned away,
For fear a laugh might escape, come what may.
Even in anger, how lovely you appear, my queen!
Oh, tell me, sister-in-law, why the anger blooms?
Tell me, sister-in-law, why the anger blooms?

Tell me, sister-in-law, why your temper flares?
Tell me, sister-in-law, why your temper flares?
You came to console, yet you're the one who grieves.
Oh, tell me, sister-in-law, why your temper flares?
Tell me, sister-in-law, why your temper flares?

I'll let you sulk, never to reconcile,
Nor laugh myself, nor bring a smile to your face, awhile.
I'll let you sulk, never to reconcile,
Nor laugh myself, nor bring a smile to your face, awhile.
Wait till your husband returns, I'll tell all, and chide,
Of all your tantrums, I will not hide.
Mention of your husband, and your spirit fades, how old you seem!
Oh, tell me, sister-in-law...

I accept, I am your husband's sister-in-law, a fact,
But I'm the eldest, hold the keys, in this household’s pact.
Smile just once, my dear sister-in-law, please see,
I'll get you a Banarasi sari, you'll agree.
I'll get you a Banarasi sari, you'll agree.
A red lehenga-choli, from Jaipur I'll send,
With gota-kinari, its beauty to extend.
With gota-kinari, its beauty to extend.
At night, before your husband, shyly you'll sing,

Her veil is swaying, the veil is swaying,
Her veil is swaying, the veil is swaying.
A little, a little crooked, my beloved, my veil is swaying,
Her veil is swaying, the veil is swaying.
A little, a little crooked, my beloved, my veil is swaying.

Let's go to the beach, and eat puri-pani together,
You skip and hop, like a Japanese doll, tethered.
Oh, tell me, sister-in-law…
You are my mother, you are my elder, dear,
You are my mother, you are my elder, dear,
I will always heed your words, I hold you near.
In this way, may our whole life pass with love’s embrace.
In this way, may our whole life pass with love’s embrace.
Oh, my sister-in-law, oh my sister-in-law, oh my sister-in-law!
