This is another folk-song we sing in the rainy season to celebrate monsoons, in Western Uttar-Pradesh…..Posting the lyrics of the song below, have also tried to translate each line in English….

Jhulwa jhulat mohe
….As I was swaying on a swing
Naagin das gayee jee
….A (female) snake bit me
Aeji koi das gayee, Hambey! Koi das gayee
….O Dear! It stung me, Yes! It stung me
Anguli ki por
….Tip of my finger
Jhulwa jhulat mohe
….As I was swaying on a swing
Naagin das gayee jee
….A (female) snake bit me

Saasu hamaari sun ke roye padin jee-2
….My mother-in-law started weeping when she heard this
Aeji koi nanadi ne, Hambey! Koi nanadi ne khayee hai pachhaar
….O Dear! My sister-in-law, Yes! My sister-in-law has fainted
Saiyaan hamaare sunke hans pade jee-2
….My beloved laughed when he heard this
Aeji koi unsi to, Hambey! Koi unsi to laaun do-chaar
….O Dear! Yes Dear! I can bring many like her
