mai nai naweli aayi mai nai naweli aayi
sharmai re ghabrai re mai nai naweli aayi
mai nai naweli aayi sato ajubo se ajubi ye jodi
palle padi mai jake kiske nigodi
sato ajubon se ajubi ye jodi
palle padi mai jake kiske nighodi
gift me jaise mil jave langur ko hira panna
idiot hai mera banna idiot hai mera banna
idiot hai mera banna idiot hai mera banna

khet se laya ganna idiot ho idiot
idiot hai mera banna idiot hai mera banna
idiot hai mera banna idiot hai mera banna
mera nau dandi ka bajna ji mera nau dandi ka bajna

idiot ho idiot idiot hai mera banna
idiot hai mera banna idiot hai mera banna
idiot hai mera banna idiot hai mera banna
idiot hai mera banna idiot hai mera banna

A bride, newly arrived, shy and afraid, I am.
A bride, newly arrived, a wonder beyond all wonders,
this pairing.
Whose wretched hand have I fallen into?
A wonder beyond all wonders, this pairing.
Whose wretched hand have I fallen into?
Like a monkey gifted with emeralds,
My becoming, an idiot, my becoming, an idiot.
My becoming, an idiot, my becoming, an idiot.

I said, "Husband, rinse my mouth for me,
Go to the market and fetch a twig to clean my teeth."
But instead of a twig,
He brought sugarcane from the field, an idiot, an idiot!
He brought sugarcane from the field, an idiot, an idiot!
My nine-stringed instrument rings, oh my, my nine-stringed instrument rings!
My father-in-law made me read it, ringing, ringing, ringing.
Ringing, plays the instrument, oh my nine-stringed instrument.

I said, "Husband, show me a picture,
Book two balcony tickets."
I said, "Husband, show me a picture,
Book two balcony tickets."
Though the entire theater was empty,
My husband bought only one ticket.

He said, "Watch until the interval,"
He said, "Watch until the interval,"
"I will watch the rest,"
"Why buy two tickets when one will do?"
An idiot, you're an idiot, my becoming, an idiot.
My becoming, an idiot, my becoming, an idiot.
My becoming, an idiot, my becoming, an idiot.
My becoming, an idiot, my becoming, an idiot.
