Updated: Jul 11, 2025

By Ridhima Giri


माई रे माई रे 

मनवा में शोर बा, घरवा में चोर बा 

जाई कहाँ, माई रे 

हथवा दुखागइल सोने का कंगन ना चाहि 

माई रे माई रे माई हो माई हो 


Mother oh mother 

There are noises in my mind, there are thiefs in the house

Where shall I go, where shall I go? 

Mother oh mother 

My hands ache from gold bangles 

I don't want them I don't want them

Mother oh mother 


Mai re, Mai re 

Manwa main shor ba, ghawva main chor na

Jaaiyi kaha main re Mai re Mai ho Mai ho

 Hathwa dukhagail, Sona ka kanggan na chaahi

Mai re Mai re Mai ho Mai ho** 


Poem second verse 


माई रे माई रे 

दिनवा भर राह तकनि ह 

माई रे माई रे 

कब आइबु 

माई रे माई रे 

माई हो माई हो 

मैनवा में शोर बा, घर्वा में चोर बा 

माई रे माई रे 

रास्ता जोहत जोहत 

थक गइलि बुचुनिया तोहार 

कब आइबू 

माई रे माई रे 


Mother oh mother 

Whole day I was waiting for you to show up 

When will you show up? 

Mother oh mother 

Mother oh mother 

There's noise in my head and there are thiefs in this house 

Mother oh mother 

waited so long for you to show up 

your daughter got tired of waiting 

When will you come? 

Mother oh mother 


Mai re Mai re 

Dinwa bhar rah takni ha 

Kab aaibu? 

Mai re Mai re 

Mai ho Mai ho 

Manwa main shor ba 

Gharwa main chor ba

Mai re Mai re 

Rasta johat johat thak gaili buchuniya tohar

Rasta johat johat thak gaili buchuniya tohar

Kab aaibu? 

Mai re Mai re 


Poem verse 


माई रे माई रे 

रतियान भर जागत जागत बूढ़ हो गैली बुचुनिया तोहार 

अब कब आईबु? 

माई रे माई रे 

मनवा में शोर बा 

घारवा में चोर बा 

जाई कहा? 

माई रे माई रे 

माई हो माई हो 

Mother oh mother 

Night after night I stayed awake 

I got old waiting for you 

your daughter got old waiting for you 

When will you show up? 

Mother oh mother 

There's noise in my mind and there are thiefs in the house

Where shall I go? Where shall I go? 

Mother oh mother 


Mai re Mai re 

Ratiyaan bhar jagat jagat 

Budh ho gaili buchuniyaan tohar 

Ab kab aaibu? 

Mai re Mai re 

Manwa main shor ba 

Gharwa main chor ba 

Jaaiyi kaha? 

Mai re Mai re......
